Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear, we had such good memories hanging out. You were such a good friend and you will be missed!

Bob, thank you for allowing your Light to shine on me. Everlasting love to you and entire family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My condolences and prayers to the family.

My sincere condolences to his family. Great person. RWG.

Bob was an amazing person. No matter what was happening he always had a smile for everyone. I had the privilege of knowing him. I live in Freedom Place Two. His friend, Bobby, lived right above me and a few of us would be on the balcony and tease the two of them all dressed up with smiles on those faces headed out for music and dancing. God called a very special angel home. He will be missed.

Robert was such a friendly guy. His smile would light up a room. It was always a pleasure getting to hear him sing. He will be missed. (RIP my friend)

Rest in peace our friend.
You were such a kind hearted guy.
I'm glad that I got the chance to know you.
I'll always remember the fun nights of dancing and laughter.
You were one of a kind.
I know you'll be dancing in heaven.
God bless you.
You will be missed.

Robert's Obituary

Robert A. Hines Jr. was born June 18, 1961, in Steubenville, Ohio, to the late Robert Arlen Hines Sr. and Louise Reid. On Saturday, March 18, 2023, "Mr. Bob" as he was affectionately known passed away at Valley Hospice Care Center North in Steubenville, Ohio.

 

Robert was a Steubenville “Big Red” High School graduate. He later attended the University of Charleston where he obtained a bachelor’s degree. Mr. Bob worked as an educator for several years at Jefferson County Head Start. He was known to have the best circle times where he kept the students moving and grooving. He enjoyed teaching and preparing his students for kindergarten.

 

He loved dancing and singing, often partaking in karaoke on the weekends with his good friend Roberta Schwartz. He also loved calling Bingo at the Freedom Place Apartments and spending time with his friend Jeanne, who was like a sister, and all his special friends in the building.

 

He was an avid sports fan, rooting for Steubenville “Big Red” football, his Ohio State Buckeyes, and his much beloved Kansas City Chiefs, who he was thrilled to watch win two Super Bowls in recent years.

 

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his brother James “Bo” Threet; and his best friend and canine companion Bumper Hines.

 

He leaves behind to honor and cherish his memory, his wife Jacky Hines; sons Jacob (Anthony) Hines, and Robert (Kodi) Hines III; grandchildren Amari Gegas Hines, and Lyrica Rose Hines; sisters Minnie Walters, Enola Gay Threet, and Stefanie Herrin; mother-in-law Carole Farley; God-daughter Alita Barrett; his best friend Bobby Duvall; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of loving friends.

 

A public visitation will be held may call on Saturday, March 25, 2023, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at the GREGORY-MARTIN CHAPEL, 255 S. 7th Street in Steubenville, Ohio. Please leave condolences for the family through Robert’s online guestbook.
