Bob graduated from Central Catholic High School, attended the University of Toledo and was a member of the Ohio Air National Guard.

He served as vice-president of the Toledo Telephone Employees Credit Union.

He was an awesome husband, father and grandfather, known by his grandkids as "Poppy." He enjoyed family vacations to Mexico and vacationed for 21 years at Miley's Family Resort in Bellaire, Michigan. He enjoyed time with his friends, cheering on the Buckeyes and Browns; horse racing and always loved a good wager.

There are no words to express how saddened Mark and I are to hear about Bob's passing. He was more than a former co-worker, as he became family. Sending our heartfelt prayers to the entire Fehlen family.

Sending prayers to the entire Fehlen family. I grew up two doors down from Bob and Mary Ann and spent countless hours there as a child hanging with Katie. Bob will always be remembered as a wonderful person. Thoughts are with you all.

So sorry, Marcia, reading the "Blade" obituary about the passing of your brother Bob. Only met Bob a few times yet recall his lively and direct manner. All that matched with the information about his career. Our condolences to Bob's family and to you and Ken and your family. God bless!
