Robert A.G. Montgomery Jr., Ed. D., of Southampton passed away on Wednesday, November 11, 2015, at Brookdale in Northampton. He was 78.

He was the beloved husband of 46 years to the late Donna L. Miller Montgomery.

Born in Philadelphia, he was the son of the late Robert A.G. Montgomery, Sr., and Martha Mark Montgomery.

 Robert graduated from Lincoln High School and went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Wheaton College and later earned his Doctorate in Education from Temple University. He continued his education with post graduate work at Oxford University in Educational Globalization.  His early career began as a teacher at Northeast High School. While there he began an after school program called Project SPARC which educated students in aeronautics and is still in existence today. It was during this time that he also served at Environmental Tectonics Corporation as V.P. of the AeroMedical Training Institute.

Although he had retired more than once, he never truly lost his passion for education and aeronautics, serving as a consultant with NASA, as principal of Holmesburg Baptist Christian School, and as an adjunct professor at Philadelphia Biblical and Eastern Universities.

Robert was an elder with both the Huntingdon Valley and Warminster Presbyterian Churches and was a passionate model railroad enthusiast.
