Rose-Hulman

Funeral arrangements have been scheduled for student Robert Rea, 21, who died unexpectedly on Monday. Funeral services are 11 a.m. Saturday at Collins Funeral Home, 465 W. McClain Ave., in Scottsburg, Ind., with burial in Scottsburg Cemetery. Visitation is 4 to 8 p.m. Friday and after 10 a.m. Saturday in the funeral home.

Robert was a senior biomedical engineering major from Underwood, Ind., and he was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He also served as chairman of the alumni committee, was a founding member of the Vigo County Young Republicans Club and a member of Lick Branch Baptist Church in Deputy, Ind.

Survivors include his mother and father, Cathy and Matt Sipe; father, Thomas M. Rea; two sisters, Alison Rea and Rachel(Alex Munden) Rea; a brother, Gerald(Allison Ouellet) Rea; grandparents, Danny and Janice Sipe; and his cat, Hennessey.

Rose-Hulman is arranging bus transportation to visitation on Friday. Because of the small size of the funeral home, the family has requested that members of the Rose-Hulman community attend on Friday. Persons wishing to be on one of the buses, should e-mail Kim.Jones@Rose-Hulman.edu in the Student Affairs Office by noon on Thursday, November 5th.

The buses will load in the Moench Hall parking lot beginning at 2:30 pm on Friday and will depart at 3 pm.

Further questions concerning the funeral and bus arrangements should be directed to the Office of Student Affairs.
