A gentle man and such a gentleman, Bob never knew a person without being his friend. He sought out strangers in the midst to make them feel welcome. He also traveled and cruised various places throughout the world with Bernice and his many friends from their early years, as well as with those of their church family. He was a 60+ year member of the Rossford United Methodist Church, where he was active in the church and head usher for more than 20 years. Bob was also a 32nd degree Mason, a member of Paragon Lodge. He loved to cheer on The Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Indians and Browns. He also enjoyed playing euchre and golfing with his friends.
Bob is survived by his sister, Shirley Apostle; nieces, Patti (Lee) Stroll and Diane Farkas along with many other nieces, nephews, and a huge number of friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 57 years, Bernice and brother-in-law, Art Apostle.
