Robert "Bob" Kopachko
June 2, 1942 - January 30, 2022
Robert “Bob” Kopachko, age 79 of Mentor, passed away Sunday January 30, 2022 at Hillcrest Hospital, Mayfield Heights. He was born June 2, 1942 in Uniontown, PA. Bob was the youngest of 11 children from Smock, PA. He came to Cleveland to work and raise his family. He was a manufacturing engineer and worked for Lucas Machine and Euclid Inc. until he decided to open his own shop in 1996, Kopachko Machining, in Willoughby. When Bob wasn’t working you’d find him back in Smock, farming and working on projects with his brother, Joe. He was also an avid lover of classic cars and was a member of the Early Times Classic Car Club. He loved his 1962 Chevy Impalas and Bubble Top and collecting 409 engines. He added a ’62 drag car to his collection and was thrilled to run it down the track at Thompson Raceway and Dragway 42, just like he did in his younger days. Of all the things Bob loved, nothing compared to the love he had for his family, especially his beloved Lois, as his heart could not bear to be without her. Surviving Robert are his daughters: Amy (Timothy) Rosboril and Lorie (Scott) Strouse; grandchildren: Amber (Tyler) Keane, Matthew and Kyle Rosboril, Ryan (Celestial Tost-Fliss) Strouse and Amanda (Fiancé: Conor Cable) Strouse and siblings: Betty “Rene” Walton, Marcella Brady, Mary Walton, and Joseph (Patty) Kopachko. Preceding Robert in death are his wife of 56 years: Lois J. Kopachko; parents: Joseph and Anna Kopachko, siblings: Margaret Habek, Elizabeth Kirtos, Helen “Babe” Phillians, Ann “Honey” Frank, Dorothy Kopachko and Bernadette Golen.
