Robert J. Osstifin, 75, Maumee, Ohio passed away Friday, April 5, 2024 surrounded by his loving family. Born in 1948, Bob was the youngest child of John Sr. and Rose (Mascsak) Osstifin. Happily married for 52 years, he found strength with his beloved wife Rita C (Puhl) Osstifin, enjoying many trips and adventures throughout the country. They met at St. Joe's CYA organization in 1966. They courted for 5 years before getting married in 1971.

Bob grew up in Monclova where he attended Anthony Wayne High School. Drafted to the military as an Army reservist, he took the path of becoming an electrician. He continued his electrical career for 30 years at the Lucas County Waste Water Treatment Plant, and well as teaching classes at Penta and Owen's Community College as a certified OSHA instructor. Bob enjoyed being outdoors. You would catch him either swinging a golf club, or casting a rod and reel.
