Bob was born on July 1, 1949, and passed away on February 23, 2025. Bob was a 1968 graduate of West Geauga High School. He attended Wisconsin State University. He went on to become an electrician for the General Electric Company and later, a seasonal worker at the Holden Arboretum. He also was a volunteer fire fighter and EMT for the Munson Fire Department. He was a resident of Munson for 49 years. He was also a faithful member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Chardon. Bob loved to play golf with his high school friends. He enjoyed working in the yard and growing things as well. He was a hard-working social man with a good sense of humor. He could be found listening to James Taylor or the Red-Hot Chili Peppers or watching some of his favorite Cleveland sports teams or OSU. What gave Bob the most joy in life was being involved with his children and playing with his grandchildren. Bob will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.
