Robert Varwig Obituary
Robert Earl Varwig passed away peacefully in his own home in Sunset Beach, NC, on October 26, 2019, at the age of 68. Bob is survived by his spouse of 48 years, Patricia Ann Tornow Varwig. He was the only surviving child of Henry and Ruth Varwig and was born in Toledo on February 19, 1951.
Bob was a graduate of Rogers High School and worked many years for Lion Store Warehouse and the Ohio Department of Transportation. He also served for 3 years as a bridge tender at the Craig Bridge in Toledo. He and his wife Patty retired to Sunset Beach, NC, in 2013.
Bob is survived by his many cousins and his nieces and nephews with whom he developed a close and loving relationship. Uncle Bob was a favorite, known for his laugh, interest in their lives and constant happiness. Bob was an avid Buckeye fan and will be rooting from above for Ohio State to go to the National Football Championship.
A remembrance and reception will be held at Zion Lutheran Church in Waterville, OH, located at 22 N 2nd St. on Saturday, November 9 at 2 p.m. All of his friends and relatives are invited.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We sat next to each other for six years in band, from junior high until we graduated. He was always happy and upbeat, he was a good friend. Dennis Mock
