Robert Altemose's Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert A. Altemose, 98, who left us on June 15, 2024.
Born on June 21, 1925, in Pocono Pines, PA, he was the cherished son of Harry and Cora (Wilson) Altemose and one of thirteen siblings, all of whom predeceased him.
Preceded in death by his beloved wife of 60 years, Helen (Hardock) Altemose, Robert is survived by his daughter Anita Ellison and his companion Virginia McGunagle. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews as well as numerous friends.
Robert and Helen moved to Miami in the early 1950s, where he established a successful home construction business, building many homes in the Coral Terrace area before retiring in 1980.
A proud former US Marine, Robert was a dedicated member of the American Legion, Coral Gables Post 98, where he served as Post Commander. He was also a proud member of Moose Lodge 1825 and the Loyal Order of Elks.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Legion Coral Gables Post 98, Moose Lodge 1825, and the Elks.
Robert will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
