Robert Yee

Age 91 of Point Breeze, Pittsburgh, formerly of New Kensington, passed away January 19. Survived by wife, Charlotte; and daughters, Jennifer Yee, Karen Yee (Randy Waldrop), Cynthia (Yee) Levick (Emery Levick); and two grandchildren, Rowan and Andrea. Bob, a WWII Army Veteran, became a professor of microbiology and assistant department head at the Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh. The bacterium Paracoccus yeeii was named in recognition for his work in infectious diseases. His true calling came from mentoring countless students. Baba, as his grandkids called him, arrived before sunrise daily to make them breakfast, help get them off to school and then walk the dog. On his walks, he enjoyed talking to neighbors in the Point Breeze community. In lieu of flowers, send donations to the Bob Yee Fund. Check made to University of Pittsburgh, subscript “The Bob Yee Fund” send to University of Pittsburgh, Graduate School of Public Health, Attn: Ms. Robin Tierno, 2116 Parran Hall, 130 DeSoto Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15261. We will celebrate Bob’s life on Saturday, January 26th at 11:30 a.m., in the chapel of Homewood Cemetery.
