Robert Vaughn Obituary
61, passed away after a prolonged illness Saturday, April 13, 2019. Bob was born to Frances Curry Vaughn and Robert Eli Vaughn, June 21, 1957 in Tampa, FL. A lifelong resident and Tampa native, Bob lived a distinguished, full life. He was a "lawyer's lawyer" specializing in bankruptcy and insurance coverage litigation. His passion for the practice of law was unmatched. His presence in the office and the profession will be missed. His family and friends knew Bob for his wry sense of humor and the many memorable gatherings he hosted over the years. Known by all for his incredible skill in the kitchen, he could whip up a delicious meal with anything on hand. Bob enjoyed traveling abroad, especially to Italy. He had a love for and vast knowledge of world history. Bob loved his daughters, Grace and Madeleine, with all his heart. They called him Papa and will always remember his warm hugs and his endless support and enthusiasm. Over the last three years, his life was further enriched with two grandsons whose daily antics kept him smiling. Bob is survived by his former wife, Lavinia "Vinnie" Vaughn; daughters, Grace Vaughn (Heather) and Madeleine Vaughn; grandsons, Ellis James and Lane Robert Vaughn-Morin; and his siblings Glenn Vaughn (Mimi) and Frances Vaughn (Tom). We have lost an irreplaceable person with a brilliant mind and tremendous sense of humor. In honor of his request, there will be no formal services. Donations may be made in Bob's memory to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), or Lambda Legal Defense Fund. www.blountcurrymacdill.com

I went to high school with Robert and remember him fondly. He had a wonderful sense of humor. His smile was contagious!Once he found a puppy and held a raffle for it. Looking back I think he was just trying to find a home for it. I also think I was the only one who bought a ticket. I had that dog for 8 years. I have thought of Robert over the years. Such great memories. Rest in peace.
