Robert "Bob" E. Swazey Jr

January 24, 1942 — March 19, 2020

Robert “Bob” E. Swazey, Jr., Jan 24, 1942-Mar 19, 2020. In true Bob Swazey fashion, he departed from this Earth during a world-wide pandemic on Mar 19, 2020. Preceded in death by his loving parents, Robert Swazey Sr and Joyce Lancaster Quinney, step-father Clifford Quinney, his younger brother Richard Quinney and canine companion Mally. He is survived by his previous wives Mary Bekeris and their daughter Joyce Swazey Andrus of Youngsville, La, and Jan Buras and their sons Sean Swazey of Harvey, La, and Kevin Swazey of Belle Chasse, La,and by his grandsons and apples of his eye Jaxon Eli Andrus, Branson Michael Andrus, and Colston Robert Andrus. Bob was the loving uncle of Nicholas and Daniel Quinney. Bob left behind a host of friends and relatives who will miss his shenanigans daily. Bob was born in Brownville, Maine on January 24th, 1942 during a snow storm. He graduated from Bangor High School in 1960 and joined the United States Marine Corps shortly after. After completing his tour of duty and receiving an honorable discharge in 1964 Bob went into carpentry, which he ended up having a great passion. He retired at the ripe age of 62. He enjoyed watching History channel, NASCAR, and going to vintage car shows; but his passion was carpentry. Even after retirement, he continued to build odds and ends for his family and friends.  Bob did not want tears and sadness and requested no services. He instead ask that you remember him smiling, laughing, cutting up, and just being Bob. Dammit Bob! Cremation will be performed by the professionals at Mothe’s Funeral Home and Bob will be put to rest privately. The family would like to give special thanks to his home health nurse Linh Nguyen RN and the staff of Oschner Westbank, specifically his nurse Lynette. The family would also like to thank his next door neighbor, Carla Ziegler for visiting him daily and taking great care of him during times of need. Also, family and friends who have great admiration for Mary Bekeris for continuing to care for Bob. Family and friends may view and sign the online guest book at www.mothefunerals.com .
