Publish in a newspaper
Loving son of Robert and Marlene, cherished brother of Laurie Lemon (Bob), Susan Kasaris, David (Heather), and Brian. Loving uncle of Demi O'Shea-Moran (James), Melanie Bloomfield (Michael), Danielle Harubin (Nick), Alyssa Kasaris, Michael Lemon (Autumn), Jeremy Lemon (Carly), Jarett Lemon, Ryan Lemon, Brandon Placak, and Gracie Placak. Great uncle to Nora, Oliver, Declan, and Peyton.
A 1979 graduate of Normandy High School, Bob was employed at Keystone Threaded Products for 20 years, working in the shipping and receiving department. He was an avid fan of Cleveland sports teams and enjoyed watching sports in general. An accomplished hockey player, he enjoyed success on the ice as a defenseman for Normandy lettering in his junior and senior years and helping the team to successive winning seasons. Bob was also very into music and enjoyed attending concerts as well as listening to his extensive collection of music.
A very kind-hearted individual with a great work ethic, Robert was loved by all and will be greatly missed.
