Robert Luther Bittick Jr., 77, of Gettysburg, died Monday morning, Feb. 22, 2021, at his home.
Born Jan. 28, 1944, in Eagle Pass, Texas, he was the son of the late Robert L. and Sarah (Cheatum) Bittick Sr. He was the life-long partner of William A. Bixler, of Gettysburg, whom he has been with for 53 years.
Robert, along with his family, moved to Forsyth, Ga., at a very young age, and accomplished many things, including earning his Order of the Arrow as an Eagle Scout.
He attended Johns Hopkins University where he started his studies in pre-med and later turned to creative writing. He was class president, and a member of the debate team. He attended Harvard for one year, but loved research writing and returned to Johns Hopkins Research in Baltimore.
