Robert N. Nicodemus, Jr., 85, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Friday, November 15, 2013 at St. Catherine’s Nursing Center in Emmitsburg. He was the husband of Patricia S. Nicodemus for 63 years and a lifelong resident of Walkersville.
Born on March 1, 1928 in Frederick, MD, Bob was the son of the late Robert N., Sr. and Helen Koons Nicodemus. He graduated from Walkersville High School in 1945 and earned a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, where he was a member of the Hopkins Glee Club. Upon graduation, he returned to Walkersville to serve as Vice President and Engineer of the Robert Terry Garment Co.,

For the following 20 years he was an engineer for Aerojet General in Frederick, where he designed automated mail sorting systems. Bob was a lifelong member of Walkersville United Methodist Church. The church was a second home to him, where he sang in the choir and devoted many hours of service working alongside his friend, George Fisher.
