Cinnaminson – Robert John Happe “Happe”, “Chief,” “Keystone” from Cinnaminson passed away early on the morning of October 16, 2021 at the age of 42. He was surrounded by his loving family as he ended his very tough and courageous battle with Covid.
Happe was born in Ewing on December 7, 1978 where his love for the NY Giants started, but spent his childhood years in Mt. Laurel. He graduated from Lenape HS and started his career in the Warehouse at Tropicana Corp. He left there to follow in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps to work at PSEG. He quickly earned the respect and trust of his peers first as a machinist and then as an underground lineman. For the last fifteen years he has made his co-workers laugh at his antics and jokes. Happe is known for his wit and very strong sense of humor. Every time you were in his presence he surely made you laugh and you’d leave with a smile. Happe loved hanging out in his garage and having outside fires; his fire pit was the envy of the Georgian Dr. family. Happe was loved by many and has left behind many heartbroken and grieving family, friends, and neighbors.
