Robert Hollenbach was born in 1928 in Royersford, PA. He graduated from Royersford High School in 1946 and after a year of working in Philadelphia was offered a position at the Jones Motor Company, one of the oldest continuously operating motor carrier organizations in the nation, originally located in Spring City, PA as manager of traffic. Robert worked at Jones Motor Company for 35 years and for another 13 years he was self-employed, auditing freight bills on a free-lance basis.
Phyllis Hollenbach was born in Royersford and was a daughter of the late Paul M. and Anna F. (Francis) Benfield. She resided in East Pikeland for 43 years. She graduated from the former Royersford High School in 1949. She was a member and secretary for First United Church of Christ, Spring City, for almost three decades. She worked for Jones Motor Company for several years. She had been an active member of the former Royersford Church of the Brethren, where she served as the church secretary for many years prior its merger with Mingo Church of the Brethren to form Providence Church of the Brethren. She was also a member of the Spring-Ford Area Historical Society.
Robert and Phyllis enjoyed volunteering and giving back. In fact, Robert remembered his years volunteering at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, by saying: “I just liked the way of life – the way people living there were cared for, treated with dignity and respect.” Robert and Phyllis developed special friendships at Camphill Village and many other organizations.
