Robert Charles "Bob" Pool, age 85 passed away peacefully at his home in LaBelle, Florida. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on April 25, 1940. Bob led a life defined by service, dedication, and love for his family.
He proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps from 1959 to 1965, attaining the rank of Lance Corporal. Following his military service, he worked as a police officer for Boca Raton, Florida, for five years before pursuing his passion for plans and the outdoors by founding a successful nursery and landscaping business.
Bob is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Gloria, his two children, Robert Keith Pool and Katherine Hope Peppers, and his three beloved grandchildren, Garrison Lee Peppers, Jennifer Katherine Peppers and Kadyn Danielle Pool.
A loving husband, dedicated father, and proud grandfather, Bob considered his family his greatest achievement. He found joy in traveling and spent countless peaceful hours fishing in the beautiful waters of Florida.
Bob will be remembered for his strong spirit, kind heart, and unwavering commitment to those he loved. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
A military funeral service will be held on Saturday, July 19, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at Carlson Methodist Church located at 310 Campbell Street LaBelle, Florida 33935.
Donations to honor Bob may be made to the VA Medical Center in Cape Coral. Bob received excellent care from this VA Center and his family is grateful for their commitment to area veterans.
