Robert Anderson Obituary
A graduate of Northfield High School and Kent State University, he served proudly in the U.S. Navy. Bob went on to build a distinguished career in sales and marketing through his work at Penton Publishing and Cleveland Magazine, and later founding Hartman Design Company and Creative Insight. He will be remembered for his energy, compassion, and his remarkable gifts for storytelling and letter writing.
Bob is survived by his daughters Kristi Horner (Ken), Vikki Anderson, and Lari Jacobson (Peter); nine grandchildren-Andrew Horner, Matthew Horner, Kaylie Larson (Sierra), Amanda Horner, Hannah Kessel (Cody), Jonas Jacobson, Brynne Anderson, Sadie Jacobson, and Logan Anderson; and his beloved granddogs. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, and his son Kingsley.
A private family celebration of life will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Veteran Canine Connection in Chagrin Falls or a charity of your choice.

Bob was nor just a great salesman and letter writer, but a great networker as well. Whether it was connecting a job seeker with a coach or an opportunity, a needy friend with a caregiver or a ride to doctor, a singer with contact in Nashville, or help in dealing with unwanted critters, Bob was always willing and ready. No opportunity to help was beneath him. Most memorable, perhaps, was his unwavering pride in all his children's and grandchildren's accomplishments. Rest in peace, Bob, your work is done!
