Robert H. "Bob" Keesee, age 69, of Toledo, passed away unexpectedly, Sunday, June 16, 2013, at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. Bob was born on January 19, 1944, to Jasper and Ora Mae (Bryant) Keesee in Eccles, West Virginia. He was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force serving his country proudly during the Vietnam War.
