Richard Bobos was born on April 1, 1936 in Whiting, Indiana to John and Mary (Kaminsky) Bobos. He was a longtime resident of the Whiting-Robertsdale Community and was a graduate of George Rogers Clark High School, Class of 1954. Dick was a veteran of the United States Army Reserves. He was a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Whiting, the First Catholic Slovak Ladies Assoc., BR. 81 and the Knights of Columbus, Msgr. Connelly Council, 1700. He was a retiree of the Inland Steel Co., East Chicago with over 30 years of service and was co-owner of the Weatherguard Siding & Window Co., Whiting. Dick had a big heart and a boisterous personality. He enjoyed life and a good laugh. He was kind, generous, and loving to all people that came into his life. He embraced everyone and loved unconditionally. He loved to fish travel and was an excellent cook. He especially enjoyed time with and to spoil his grandchildren. He loved his "babies" and was a "baby whisperer", being able to quiet down a fidgeting infant with ease, safe and secure in grandpa's arms. Devoted to his family, Richard will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. We love you daddy. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, would be appreciated.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I didn't realize your Mom had passed as well. I was the Realtor who sold them the house in the cottages in Hobart and I remember that huge house in Whiting we got sold. I remember the holiday weekend we had to get a new roof on the house in Whiting and how thecrew had only a few days to get it done before closing. I went to the house to see how it was going and your Dad was outside watching the guys as they feverish got done so they could hae the holiday off. I don't remember if it was the 4th, memorial or labor day. They both were full of love and joy and seemed to laugh all the time. They certainly loved their family. God Bless all of you as you get though this ordeal. It will get better. Prayers for the family. Keep safe.

Richard, or Dick, as our family called him was part of our family's main support system after Robert E. Habell passed away in 1968. Thank you Dick. You made High School way so much easier for me. You & Justine lived right by Clark High School, and were frequent visitors to my house in Hammond. Thanks for coming by frequently and doing all of those house repairs for my Mother & just being there for us! RIP great one. Lots of love & hugs, Loris, Robin, & Anne Marie Hill
