Robert (Bob) Harrison

Robert (Bob) Harrison, age 87 of Cuyahoga Falls, passed away on November 28, 2021 after a valiant battle with cancer.

Preceded in death by his parents, Alexis and Gertrude; and siblings, Patrick and Janine, he is survived by his wife of 65 years, Connie; and children, Jeanne (Larry), Susan (Miles), Linda (James), Judy (Tom), Robert Jr. (Mary Ann), Kris (Anthony), and Tim (Rachel), as well as 14 beloved grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, sister- and brother-in-laws, many nieces and nephews, and canine companion, Foxy.

Born in Indiana, Bob later moved to Akron, Ohio and graduated from St. Vincent High School in ’52. He attended the University of Akron and was a member of the Lone Star fraternity. Bob retired following 40 years of dedicated service as an engineer at Chrysler’s Twinsburg Stamping Plant.

He will be remembered fondly as an easy going, happy man, with a quick wit and propensity for ‘Dad jokes’. He enjoyed golfing, bowling, puzzles, birdwatching, flying kites in Emerald Isle, visiting Ireland, rooting for Notre Dame, the Browns and Indians, talking Chrysler, and drinking cold beverages on the deck.
