Robert "Bob" Givin, 85, passed away peacefully at his home on June 15, 2025. He is now reunited with his beloved wife of 65 years, Gale, whom he cherished deeply.
A proud Navy veteran who served in Vietnam, Bob brought the same dedication and resilience to civilian life, running a successful HVACR business for over 30 years. His hard work, loyalty, and grit left a lasting impression on those who knew him.
Bob is survived by his three sons, four grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, who will forever carry forward his legacy.
To many, Bob was affectionately known as the "grumpy old man"-but those who knew him best understood that beneath his rough exterior was a man of fierce love, loyalty, and unapologetic honesty. If he liked you, you knew it. If he didn't you knew that too.
A viewing will be held on Thursday, June 19, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Princess Anne Chapel, 3445 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach. A service will be held at 1pm on Friday, June 20, 2025 at the same location. Committal services will immediately follow at the adjacent cemetery, Colonial Grove Memorial Park.
He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and never forgotten.
