Robert "Bob" Yost Service Information

Robert Yost Co-Owner and Operator of the Kopper Kettle in Feasterville died peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Monday November 18, 2019.  He was 52.

Bob was the beloved husband of 25 years to Cindy Kicska Yost.

Born in Philadelphia, he was the son of the late William and Nannette Mika Yost, the brother of the late William J. Yost Jr. and the stepson to the late JoAnne (nee Lacovara) and Irene “Johnine” (nee Karwejna) Yost.

Kettle Bob as he was affectionately known to many began working at the Kopper Kettle as a dishwasher when he was 14.  Only taking a year away from working there, Bob learned and mastered the delicacies the Kettle had to offer and in time partnered with a colleague to purchase the establishment from the retiring proprietor.  Bob spent the last 20 years of his life operating the restaurant only taking time away for special family engagements, moments spent fishing, and airy rides on his Harley.  Bob will be greatly missed but eternally remembered by everyone who had the pleasure to have been in his life.  In a final act of kindness, Bob generously gave the gift of life to multiple families through the help of the Gift of Life Organization.

In addition to his wife Cindy, Bob is survived by his loving and devoted children Jessica and Sonny Flood, his sister Lisa Schultz and her husband Rick, and his sister-in-law Patricia Yost.  He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, friends, and patrons of the Kettle.
