Robert H. McCullough, of Harrington, DE, passed away at home, surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012, he was 64.
Robert was a hard working man all of his life. Starting as far back as high school, he worked at Grants Automotive and Burtons in Milford learning mechanics. Shortly after high school, he worked at Kraft Foods for a time. He later acquired and was the owner operator of two service stations in Harrington, a BP Station and a tire shop. He also kept busy with rental houses, and also farming. Farming was in his blood, as he had farmed all of his life. At one point he even raised chickens for Perdue through his chicken houses. His last endeavor was for Farm Family Insurance where he was an agent for the past 25 years. He was an excellent salesman and could sell just about anything, and with his mechanical background, he could fix almost anything.
In his younger years, he enjoyed hunting and spending time on his boat. He also loved to camp, ride motorcycles, and spend time in Florida. He will be remembered as a loving and dedicated family man who always put his family first. He was an excellent provider and enjoyed life and spending as much time with his family.
