Robert Huff Obituary
XENIA — Robert (Bob) Huff passed from this life Sunday, February 15th, 2014 due to a sudden illness. Bob was the youngest of 9 children and was born in Spring Valley, Ohio on August 7, 1922 to Charles A. and Roberta A. Huff. He was married on August 7, 1944 to Joan Ford who was the love of his life for nearly 70 years. Bob was the father of four children: Kenton of Sierra Vista, Arizona; Thomas (deceased 1972); Penelope Ann of Marston Mills, Mass; and Timothy Allen (deceased 2003). Bob is survived by his loving wife, Joan; one sister Helen Collins of Dayton, Ohio, 5 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. He was employed with Cincinnati Millicron as a senior engineer from 1958 to 1984 where he retired in August of 1984. Bob was an active member of the Country Club Baptist Church of Xenia for many years as well as the Hillside Chapel in Dayton. During approximately 1999 and 2000 Bob was a contributing Columnist for the Xenia Gazette where his quick wit combined with current events and stories of the "old days" created a fun and interesting column for everyone. Friends and family are welcome to remember Bob in a memorial service to be held on: Saturday, February 22 at 2:30 p.m. at Friends Care Center, 170 E. Herman Street, Yellow Springs. In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations to the Diabetes Foundation in his name.

To the Huff family, My deepest sympathy goes out to you at this. May you find comfort in knowing that you're in the thoughts and prayers of many. As Almighty God is the hearer of prayers, I pray that you find fulfilment in these words recorded at Psalms147:3. "He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds.

Growing up at First Baptist Church, I always loved to hear Bob's bass voice sing solos on Sunday morning. I also remember Bob and Joan and Ray and Eve Fraley singing "The Jericho Road" as a quartet. Great memories. May Bob rest in peace.
