Obituary of Robert E. Bryant

Robert E. Bryant (68) of Vineland went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at home surrounded by his family. Born in Randallstown, MD on January 31, 1947, he was raised in Willow Grove, PA. He was a prolific athlete at Abington High School where he was named the 1965 PA State Champ in the 440 yard dash and in his local community where he played softball for many years. A veteran of the USMC, he served in Vietnam as a 2nd BN 5th Marine Scout Sniper and was awarded the Purple Heart. Upon his return he married the love of his life, Sundie Jones. At age 33, he was called to the ministry after receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. The anointing was so strong in his life, the Spirit led him and moved him to create the Covenant of Love Ministries of Vineland, NJ where he was elder, pastor and teacher. "Bobby", as he was affectionately known, was loved by all who knew him! Bobby is predeceased by his parents William and Helen Bryant and sister, Sylvia Brown. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sundie, twin daughters; Rasheen (Greg) and Daneen, son; Taman (Carmen), and daughter; Tracie (Rick), his many grandchildren, brothers; William "Billy" (Shirley) and Elton (Janet) and many nieces and nephews.
