Robert "Bob" Rodwich Obituary

Robert J. "Bob" Rodwich, age 88, of Florence, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025. Born on April 18, 1937, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he was the son of Helen Rodwich.

Bob was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Helen Rodwich, and his cousin, Shirley Bauer. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Lucille Rodwich; his sons, Robert Rodwich, Jr., Mark A. (Sandy) Rodwich, and Brian (Donna) Rodwich; as well as grandsons Jason and Joshua Rodwich. He is also survived by his cousin Larry Abramovitz and a cherished circle of family and friends.

Throughout his life, Bob was known for his many passions and interests. He enjoyed golfing and reading, and was dedicated to mentoring others by sharing his rich life experiences. A talented builder and mechanic, Bob had a profound curiosity for the world around him, traveling extensively and immersing himself in different cultures. As a proud veteran of the U.S. Air Force, he maintained friendships in England dating back to 1958. A generous spirit, he volunteered at the Pittsburgh Home for Crippled Children and played a vital role in managing the orientation process for incoming children at Auberle, where he spent part of his childhood.

Bob's kindness extended to all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.
