Robert "Bob" W. Farmer
Robert “Bob” W. Farmer, 87, of Wayne Lakes, Ohio went to be with the
Lord on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at the Brethren Retirement Community
in Greenville.
He was born on December 14, 1931 in Stelvideo, Ohio to the late
Clifford and Ruth (Halley) Farmer.
In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his 12
brothers and sisters.
Bob was a 1951 graduate of Greenville High School. After graduation, he
joined the United States Army as a member of the Signal Corp during the
Korean War. Bob was a faithful follower of Christ and a member of the
Castine Church, where he served as a Trustee and Deacon. For many years
Bob and his wife were the Pastors of Hospital Ministry. He was a man of
all trades. He spent many years in construction, electrical, and most
recently driving truck for several companies. In Bob’s free time, you
could find him at the lake fishing. He spent over 16 years with Hooked
on Fishing, Not on Drugs. Bob’s love for fishing can be found in the
hundreds of people he taught how to fish.
