The family of Robert W. “Bob” De Lill, 87, of Waverly, New York sadly announces that he passed away at home on Thursday, September 10, 2026.
Born to the late Harold Judson and Clara Louise (Swain) De Lill of Lockwood, New York on July 28, 1939, at the Tioga General Hospital in Waverly, NY, Bob was proudly proclaimed by Dr. Schamel to be the biggest baby he had ever delivered, weighing in at a whopping 10 pounds and 13 ounces! Bob was a proud graduate of the Waverly High School, Class of 1957. As a teen he was proficient at both roller and ice skating, and was an incorrigible prankster with an outsized sense of humor. Growing up in the country on a farm, he apparently tipped over more than one outhouse with his accomplices! Blessed with a love of music and a melodious voice, he sang with mens’ choruses and in barbershop quartets and even tickled the ivories a bit. Bob began what would become a long career as an Inspector at National Cash Register in Ithaca, NY in the early 1960s. After a divorce from his first wife in the early 1970s, Bob became a single dad to his five very young children and to this day the older ones marvel at how he took them, on his own in the big Ford station wagon, on a tent-camping trip to Bar Harbor, Maine, where they enjoyed, among many new experiences, their first dip in the ocean and sunrise on Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park. In 1975 Bob married Valley musician Clara Belle Palmer. With his second wife, two more children were added to the family. Bob also ran several businesses with Belle, who predeceased him in 2014, after nearly 40 years of marriage and many happy adventures shared. He never got over her passing. Bob was also predeceased by his sisters, Gail De Lill and Dolores De Lill Vargo; his son, Robert, Jr.; and grandsons, Alex Volpe and Qualyn Terry. He is survived by his older sister, Beverly De Lill Sherman of Arizona; daughter and son-in-law, Robin De Lill and Rusty Stroman; daughters, Gail De Lill Straub, and Jean De Lill; son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Julie De Lill; son, Mark De Lill; and daughter, Heather De Lill; grandchildren Robert (Emy) Stroman, Katherine (Zachary Eggers) Stroman, and Daniel Stroman; Jamie (Samantha Mott) Straub, Ryanna (Edie) Straub Smith, and Reagan (Briana Haxton) Straub; Eric (Shanna) Knapp and Brent Knapp; Caden, Nathan, and Lauryn De Lill; Mark Connor; and Sebastian Webb. Bob’s great grandchildren are: Alex and Sophie Stroman; Lilliana, Nova, and Rhonan Straub, Kynslei and Westyn Straub Smith; and Camden and Eden Rayne Knapp. Bob is also survived by several nieces and nephews and their children.
It was Bob’s wish that there be no calling hours or services. But he did ask that those wishing to make memorial donations in his name please direct them to two organizations he faithfully supported: The Arbor Day Foundation, www.arborday.org and Stray Haven Humane Society, 194 Shepherd Road, Waverly, NY 14892. The family is being assisted Blauvelt Funeral Home, 625 Broad Street, Waverly, New York. Those wishing to share a memory of Bob may visit our page or at www.blauveltfuneralhome.com
