Bob grew up in Yardley, and and went to high school at the Princeton Day School and then on to Marietta College as an art history major. A resident of the Hopewell and Ewing areas, he worked his entire life in the family business, Quaker Curtains. He was very talented as a designer and installer of blinds and window treatments.
Bob was also founder and owner of his record label “Zebra Records.” He managed and performed with his band “Bricks Mortar” He led poetry slams at the “Urban Word” and the New Hope Poetry Slam and was an accomplished poet in his own right.
Bob made many friends over the years and was always willing to help anyone with anything. He was a true friend to so many.

He was predeceased by his father Joseph Salup.
Funeral services and burial are 11:00 am on Friday, March 17 at Greenwood Cemetery, 1800 Hamilton Avenue, Hamilton Township, NJ.
Arrangements are by Orland’s Ewing Memorial Chapel.
I remember Bobs endless stream of joy and happiness. His playful sense of humor and his quiet serous side were always a welcome escape from the stress and angst of my adolescence. Those PDS years together include fond memories of road trips to the shore and many spirited hours playing JV soccer together. Sad news indeed.
He was — and always will be — Oupy or The Oup to me. We had many great times together, usually hilarious (haha) and often tumultuous. He was such a multi-faceted character, full of life, pranks, and above all, a poetic soul. So very, very sad to hear of his untimely passing.
Even though we were not personal friends, I was sorry to hear of Bobby’s passing. He was such a lively spirit and I could always count on him to give an honest response to which window treatment looked best. What will do now without his advice.? My deepest sympathy to all the family . You will not be alone in missing his energy and passion for poetry and making your windows look good.
