Robert Christina, 90, passed away on March 10, 2026.
Robert was born on June 3, 1935 in Hazelton, PA, to the late Michael and Anna Christina.
He faithfully served his country in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War.
When Robert returned home, started his career in building and eventually owned and operated his own construction company.
Robert was an over achiever in athletics. He enjoyed diving, running and basketball. But his passion was for handball and golf, which he played in many tournaments and won several championships.
In addition to his parents, Robert was preceded in death by his loving wife, Rachel Christina.
He will be dearly missed by his daughter, friend and caregiver, Linda Christina, along with Mark Zimmerman, who also was his caregiver. There were many challenging days and we never gave up on Robert.
Thank you to Aunt Lorraine and Uncle George Hickman, along with Toni and Jim Pyle for their support and visits.
Also, thank you to Cadia Pike Creek Rehabilitation for their excellent care.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend Mass of Christian burial on Tuesday, April 7 at 11:30am at St. Catherine of Siena R.C. Church. Burial will take place at Delaware Veterans Cemetery immediately following mass.
Memorial donations can be made in Robert's name to St. Catherine of Siena R.C. Church, 2503 Centerville Rd., Wilm., DE 19805
