Robert Edward Greenlaw 91, passed away peacefully on July 17, 2016, with his family at his side.

Bob was born in Detroit, MI, August 23, 1924 to Charles and Ina Greenlaw.  He served in the US Navy from 1942 to 1946 and had recently taken the Honor Flight for World War II veterans. He met and married his wife of 44 years, Joanna Jean Storck, who predeceased him in 1994.

Bob was a government employee in the U.S. Forest Service living in Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois and later transferred to the Soil Conservation Service moving to Durham, New Hampshire and California.

Bob was a member of the Shriners for more than 60 years, and a Past Potentate of the Azan Shriners Temple in Florida. He was also a member of the Freemasonry attaining Knights Commander Court of Honor of the Scottish Rite.

He is survived by his children Janis Seaton and her husband John, Joyce Young and her husband Scott, and Rob Greenlaw and his wife Traci, three grandchildren Christy Greenlaw Bassett, Jason Greenlaw, and Matthew Ball and two great grandchildren Jacob and Kalina Bassett.

He is also survived by his cherished love, Gwen Johnson, of Satellite Beach, FL.  He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all his loved ones.

At his request there will be no funeral service.  In lieu of flowers he has requested that donations be made to the Shriners Hospital for Children which was very dear to his heart.

I worked with Bob at the Soil Conservation Service in Durham many years ago. He was always a pleasure to have around. I lost track of Bob when he left SCS and I had no idea he was living in Dover. My condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear the loss of our Frater and Brother Bob. His kind demeanor and friendship will be missed. Everyone knew Bob in Masonic circles about Melbourne Florida ...and his love for the Masonic fraternity-particularly with involvement as a Shriner at AZAN.
