Robert was a humble, kind, quiet, gentle man with a huge giving heart. He was happiest when he was volunteering and spent many years after retirement volunteering at the Salvation Army, a charity that was near and dear to his heart. Farming was in his blood and even while working full time at Hartman Electric, he never stopped farming. He grew up on a farm in Ganges. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife and mother of his children, Dorothy Posekany; his second wife, Frances Comer; brother, Richard D. Posekany; sister, Mary Lou Amert; and two nephews.
A private graveside service has been held at Mansfield Memorial Park. A memorial service celebrating Robert's life will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, December 9, 2017 at the Salvation Army Church, 47 South Main Street Mansfield, Ohio. Memorial contributions can be made to the Salvation Army.

Bob's smile would light up a room! The world would be a much better place if we had more men like Robert Posekany in it. He was a true gentleman and was always ready to help anyone who needed it.
