Robert, or better known as Pastor Bob, was born in Holmes County, Ohio on December 11, 1930, and graduated from God's Bible School before attending and graduating Marion College in Marion, Indiana. He met the love of his life, Shirley, while attending college and they married September 15, 1956. Bob attended Asbury seminary and pastored in Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan. He meticulously studied and lived in reverence to God's Word and sharing the Good News of Jesus and His Kingdom. He worked with his hands, often having a project in churches, parsonages, congregational homes, and of course his own family's home. His rule for projects was, measure twice, three times, maybe four, cut once, then measure again. Bob's disciplines included his time with God in study and prayer, going for walks, discipling others, enjoying ice cream, and putting together puzzles with his friends at Light and Life Park. His observational life, humility, and soft demeanor had a gravitational effect that led others to curiosity and love.
He is survived by his brother, Don (Norma), sister, Jewel; two daughters, Paula Daughenbaugh and Cheryl (Ken) Koffkey; two grandsons, Kenon (Christina) Koffkey, Kurtis (Christine) Koffkey; four great-grandchildren, James, Kendall, Clara, and Kayden.
Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Shirley; father, Lewis; mother, Florence; and sister, Terry.
