Robert Huffman, Robert Lee "Bob" Huffman, 80, of Goose Creek Road in Waynesboro, died Wednesday, October 28, 2009, at Augusta Health., He was born in Buena Vista on September 6, 1929, the son of the late Dan Lee and Pauline (Flint) Huffman. On December 20, 1952, he was married to the late Nancy Jane Burch. The couple shared a devoted and blessed union of more than 44 years., Mr. Huffman had attended Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church in Fishersville and was also a veteran of the United States Air Force. Bob had retired from Virginia Power as the Director of Safety for the Western Division, after more than 27 years of service. Following his retirement from Virginia Power, Bob began to pursue his love for artwork and participated in the Artist in Residence Program held by various local middle schools, teaching hundreds of children the art of papier-m?ch?. He played an integral role in starting the Waynesboro Art Show, now part of the Fall Foliage Festival, as well as chairing the steering committee for the Shenandoah Valley Art Center.
