Bob was bigger than life and his personality filled the room. He always knew how to make people laugh. Bob was a die-hard Notre Dame football fan, and was an avid golfer.

He was retired from Kroger after more than 30 years and was affectionately known as "Kroger Bob". He went on to work at Hospice of Dayton, which he loved being a part of, retiring after more than 10 years.

He was a devoted and wise family man, who taught his family and others to "Kill 'em with Kindness". He will be missed by many.

The family would like to give a special thank you to John and Vera for all their help.
