January 18, 1940 – November 5, 2025
Robert Wayne Blaising, Sr. passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, in his Mansfield home with his loving son by his side. He was 85 years old.
Born January 18, 1940 in Crestline, Ohio, Robert was the son of the late Robert J. Blaising and Helen E. (Moyer) Blaising.
For over 40 years, Robert worked as a professional tour bus driver. He loved to travel and never met a stranger-his career allowed him to explore countless cities and states while helping others reach their destinations. Whether transporting sports teams, tourists, or event groups, Robert's friendly spirit and warm smile made every trip memorable.
A proud U.S. Navy veteran, Robert served aboard the U.S.S. Constellation as an aircraft systems maintenance technician, where he was responsible for maintaining and repairing Air Force jets.
In his spare time, Robert enjoyed fishing, camping with family, and building model trains and model cars-hobbies that reflected both his patience and creativity.
In 1962, Robert married the love of his life, Glenda Florence (Krichbaum). Together they shared 47 wonderful years of marriage until her passing in 2009.
Robert will be lovingly remembered by his son, Robert Wayne Blaising, Jr., and his nephew, James Copley.
In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by his three children, Glen J. Blaising, Phillip J. Blaising, and Frances M. Blaising. He also leaves behind his beloved German Shepherd, Cheryl Lynn.
Per his wishes, Robert will be cremated, and his family will celebrate his life privately.
The Snyder Funeral Homes, Marion Avenue Chapel is honored to serve the Blaising family.
