Robert Wasserman Obituary
Robert "Bob" Louis Wasserman, age 77, passed away Thursday, June 8, 2017 at Flower Hospital in Sylvania after a brief illness. Bob was born November 22, 1939 to the late Edmund and Margaret Wasserman in Toledo, Ohio. Robert is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Kay; son, Mark (Emily); daughters, Lisa Harvey and Julie Wasserman; grandchildren, Hunter, Stephanie, Mallory, Madalyn, Max and Kylie; sister, Carol Sommers; many nieces and nephews including his special nephew, James (Juanna) Wasserman. He was preceded in death by his brother, Cappy; sisters, Gretchen Goldsworthy and Ann Wasserman; and dog, Charlie My Boy.
Bob graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1957 and attended the University of Toledo. Professionally, Bob worked for Port Lawrence Title and Trust Company for 40 years, retiring as its president in 2000. He was a leader in the title insurance industry through his active participation in the Ohio Land Title Association and other industry groups.
Most importantly, Bob enjoyed spending time with family and friends. His many weekly rituals included meeting friends at L.A Fitness and then heading to Panera, lunch with his "friends group" every Wednesday, Friday night at Rumor's, and Sunday breakfast at Rick's City Diner. Most of all, Bob enjoyed his evening ritual of sitting at the kitchen counter with his wife Kay, Franzia in hand, preparing dinner and discussing plans for the week. Bob lived life to its fullest through his mantra of family, friends and food.
Bob's family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff of the 4th floor of Flower Hospital for the compassionate care they provided during his time spent there.
Please mark you your calendars for a Celebration of Bob's Life which will be held on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 from 5:00-9:00 p.m. at the Inverness Club, 4601 Dorr St. Toledo, Ohio.

I was very fortunate to sneak in a few Sunday breakfasts with Bob, Kay and Julie over the years. I can't imagine how much he will be missed. Sending love and hugs to Kay and Julie and the entire Wasserman family.

After Bob and I graduated from central catholic in 1957, we attended university of toledo. Both of us had jobs at westgate lion store Bob was in the mens department selling shoes dressed to a tea and I was a stockboy in a smock. Bob was always happy with a smile even as a dental patient of mine in later years. His manners and ways are seen in my mind. He has and will be remembered in my prayers. Dr. Lawrence W. Gregory
