Bob was born July 15, 1948 in Breda, Holland to Richard and Cora (Klep) Pecskovszky. He graduated from Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio in 1967 . After high school he moved to Waco to attend Texas State Technical Institute where he received his Associate's Degree. He then earned his Bachelor’s of Science from American Technological University. He started working at Texas Power and Light then worked at Brazos Electric Power Cooperative until his retirement.

Bob met his wonderful wife, Lynda (Crook) Pecskovszky in August 1968 and married in March 1974.
Bob volunteered with the Knights of Columbus for many years and served as the Financial Secretary. Bob always enjoyed a good deal and you could find him at Central Fright Lines on every other Tuesday. Bob was a soft spoken and gentle man, always enjoying time with his grandchildren. Bob always had a joke, although, most of the time they probably weren’t appropriate.
He was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 47 years, Lynda; his son, Robert Jr. and wife, Penny of Keller, TX, their children Athena and Niko; his daughter Rebecca and husband, David Hildebrand of Jenks, OK, their children Jacob and Genevieve; and Lynda's Aunt Betty Crook.
