Robert R. Fagin

Robert R. Fagin, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on May 21, 2024, in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the age of 75. Born on October 16, 1948, in Cincinnati, Bob, as he was affectionately known, has left a lasting impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
With a twinkle in his eye and a heart full of love, Bob lived life to the fullest. As a proud truck driver for ABF Truck Line in the logistics industry, he spent countless hours on the road, but always made time for his family. His wife Linda, whom he adored for over 50 years, was his true love since they were just 13 years old. Some of their special moments was enjoying a meal together at one of their favorite restaurants.
Bob loved playing the slot machines, betting on horse and dog races. He enjoyed family camping trips to Indian Lake and fishing expeditions brought him joy. His infectious laughter and silly jokes, especially during the 2:00 AM joke time with his daughters, brought a smile to everyone's face.
A proud Army veteran, Bob was not only a hero for his country but also a cherished hero for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His love for old rock and roll, particularly Pink Floyd, filled his home with music and reminiscences of days gone by. Bob's warm and friendly nature meant he never met a stranger, and his family knew him as a "hot mess" full of life and love.
Bob leaves to cherish his loving wife, Linda, his daughters, Sherri (Troy) Smith, Cathy (Jeffrey) Fagin Lay, and Rebecca Fagin. Grandchildren; Cailee, Jake, Erica, Dylan, Brandon, Robert, and Alyssia. Great Grandchildren; Kendrick, Kieran, Henry, Nyla, Leon, and Eren, his siblings, Sharon (Robert) Ohmer, William Hill and Michael Cox. As well as extended family and friends.
