Harry Edward Cheek

Harry E. Cheek, 98, of Citrus Springs, Florida, passed peacefully into eternity with his Lord on Thursday, June 6, 2024.  He was born in Beckley, West Virginia, to the late Walter and Ella Cheek. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his loving wife, Marjorie Cheek, and his brother, Arthur Cheek.  Survivors include his son, Robert “Bob” Cheek and daughter, Julie Eisele; 6 grandsons, 1 granddaughter, 5 great-grandchildren, and his sister Mary Walker.

Harry was a 26 year veteran in the United States Air Force, retiring from air traffic control as a CMSgt in 1971.  He had multiple tours in Germany, England, Greenland and was stationed at many bases across the USA.  He loved his country and was proud to serve. His family was blessed to share and enjoy that life with him and will cherish the memories of what that 26 years of military service provided us all. After retirement from the Air Force, Harry continued working first in the tax audit department for the state of Florida and later he did part time real estate sales.  He was a great husband, father, brother and friend and we all will miss his love, wisdom and counsel.

Viewing will be held on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, from 10-11am at Roberts Funeral Home, 19939 E. Pennsylvania Avenue, Dunnellon.  A graveside service will be held at 1pm at Florida National Cemetery, 6502 SW 102nd Avenue, Bushnell.
