Robert J. Getman
December 29, 1929 - August 29, 2019
Robert J. Getman, 89, of Syracuse, passed away Thursday at St. Joseph's Hospital. He was born December 29, 1929 in Constantia, NY. A veteran of the U.S. Army, Bob went on to work at Allied Chemical. He retired as a foreman in 1987, after 37 years. Affectionately called "Grandpa darlin" by his grandchildren, he was warm, kind and generous to everyone. He was a skilled electrician and all-around handyman. He'd always end a job with "I'll send you a bill the first of the month", but the bill never came. He was the salt of the earth, a true gentleman and will be deeply missed. Bob is predeceased by his wife, Ann Shirley (Weslowski) Getman; a son, Anthony; his parents; four brothers and three sisters. He is survived by two sons, Jeffrey and Robert Christopher (Barbara) Getman; three grandchildren: Kaylea, (Jon) Nixon, William Getman and one great-grandson Grey Nixon, along with several nieces and nephews. Friends and family may call Wednesday, September 4th, from 8:30 to 9:30 am prior to services at 9:30 am, at the Giminski-Wysocki Funeral Home; 1320 W. Genesee Street in Syracuse. Burial: Sacred Heart Cemetery in Geddes. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Sacred Heart Organ Fund; 927 Park Ave.Syracuse, NY 13204.
