Robert DANCSOK Obituary
Age 60, formerly of Bellbrook, passed away October 21, 2022, in Modesto, California. Bob was born December 23, 1961, in Dayton, Ohio. He spent his school years in Bellbrook until he graduated in 1980. After graduation, Bob lived in Alaska and Hawaii before returning to Ohio to begin his career driving large trucks. He was especially proud of his Perfect 40-year Driving Record, which covered millions of miles over the life of his career, allowed for visits to all 50 states and encounters with many famous people. While he claimed Arizona as his home base, most of his life was spent traveling and living inside his 18-wheeler. Bob could be spotted on the open road smoking his favorite cigar, sipping "fresh brewed ice tea" and blasting Christmas music no matter the time of year. Despite being the "rolling stone" he was, Bob was able to maintain a 45-year relationship with his best friend, Ned Castor and his wife, Kathy. Bob was a unique individual. His loud, boisterous, larger-than-life personality, along with his movie one-liners and spot-on impersonations, will be forever missed. A hero in death through his generous organ donations, Bob bestowed the Gift of Life to multiple persons. A lifelong bachelor with no children, Bob is survived by his mother and stepfather, Nancy and Ron Helmbright; sisters, Kimberly, Denise, and Tonya Dancsok; 1 niece; 3 nephews; and many more loving family members. He was preceded in death by his father, Barney Dancsok, Jr. and grandparents, Barney (Anna) Dancsok, Sr. The family will hold a private Celebration of Life at a later date, then Bob will be laid to rest beside his beloved grandparents. Rest in Peace, Bob…..

At this time of year especially, bring great memories of Bob. Not only was Christmas and Christmas music (which he would listen to everyday of the year) his favorite, but also his birthday was December 23. He was the biggest personality in the room and the funniest. His looks were deceiving as there wasn´t a mean bone in his body. He was a softy & very giving. Bob is surely missed.

It's been a month today since the passing of Bob. I'm still at a loss for words. His lack of presence is enormous. Bob had an unmatched personality. There was no one like him, that's for sure! There's no doubt that he's got everyone rolling on the floor (or clouds) up there in Heaven! What I'd give to hear just one more of those jokes. He's sorely missed ): Rest in Peace "Brother Bob", See you in Red Bud! I love you... "Sister Kim"

Dee & Family,
I was so sad to hear this. Dad saw it in the paper and let me know. I can remember playing lots of basketball at Brookview with Bob. We'll keep you and your family in our prayers.

Bob taught me to drive a stick shift, shoot BB guns, catch frogs and other mostly 'tom- boyish' things. I loved it! I recall how he would take apart my radio and small electronics and return them back to me in a shoe box unassembled : ) Always the funniest person in the room, I know Bob would sure love everyone laughing, re-telling the many stories of past experiences with him. Let's celebrate the time we had with him. But, to be sure, I am already missing you, Brother. RIP...Dee
