Robert Oos Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Heritage Funeral & Cremation on Dec. 17, 2025.
Our beloved Robert, Bob, passed away peacefully December 12, 2025.

Bob was raised in Great Falls, Montana. He spent many seasons fishing, hunting, and enjoying the outdoors of Montana. Bob graduated from Central Catholic High and the University of Montana. Bob and his college friends often hunted deer to have meat for the winter months. The Montana Air Guard provided valuable military experience for Bob.

Bob moved to Spokane and married Diane Bartol in 1967. They had two children, Becky and Timothy. For over 18 years Bob was a trusted manager and customer favorite at multiple branches of the Washington Trust Bank.

In 1989 Bob married Robin Tharp and delighted in joining her and her 3 children: Casey, Rocky and Kelli Tharp.

Bob continued his financial career by earning his Certified Financial Planner designation and was associated with Quantum Financial Planning in Spokane. He later joined Robin in managing her Allstate Insurance agency until they retired in 2008. They enjoyed many awards while with Allstate including a Mediterranean Cruise and trips to Hawaii and Buenos Aires.

Bob really enjoyed golf and in one year they played 29 different courses including those in WA, MT, ID, Canada, Florida South Carolina and Hawaii.

In retirement Bob and Robin shared their time between Sun City in Oro Valley Arizona and Trutina in Liberty Lake. In both communities they found countless friendships which added to their enjoyment of retirement.

Bob was always connected to his community and served many organizations including Central Lions Club, Cancer Society, Spokane Lilac Festival Association and President of the Spokane Financial Planning Association.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Thomas. He is survived by his adoring wife, and five children and nine grandchildren who will always remember his kind heart and unwavering love.

A Memorial Service will be held at 11 a.m. on January 10 at Heritage Funeral Home, 508 N Government Way, Spokane, WA. Burial will follow at Greenwood Memorial Terrace in Spokane.
