Robert Rose Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Bob is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Charlene, and their four children: Lisa (John) French, Michael Rose, Deborah (Blake) Rose, and Robert Jr. (Kelly) Rose. Bob was a proud grandfather to nine grandchildren and a great-grandfather to two. He also leaves behind his sister, Barbara, along with many nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his two brothers, Paul and Kenneth.
Bob dedicated 37 years of his career as a skilled auto mechanic with General Motors. Outside of work, he loved fishing, hunting, and music-both listening to and playing it. He also had a gift for storytelling, always lacing his tales with humor. With his quick wit and warm spirit, Bob had a way of brightening the day of everyone he met.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
