Robert Dygert, 87, Clarks Summit, died Wednesday evening at Abington Manor. His wife is the former Violet Wells. The couple would have celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on February 20th.
Born in Ft. Plain, NY, he was the son of the late Lee and Lena Weigle Dygert. Bob graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Agriculture. Prior to retirement he worked in sales for the International Salt Co.

He especially enjoyed playing his guitar for local nursing homes and at the First Presbyterian Church of Clarks Summit where he was a devoted member.
