Bob Mosher. June 3, 1944 - October 22, 2022
On Saturday, October 22, 2022, Robert "Bob" Mosher, father of three and grandfather of one, passed away at age 78.
Bob was born on June 3, 1944, in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Hilbert and Beatrice Mosher. He moved to Cincinnati, Ohio as a young child. Upon graduation from Woodward High School, Bob enlisted in the United States Army and proudly served his country in the Vietnam War.
Bob enjoyed organizing and attending monthly breakfasts and bi-monthly "dive" dates with fellow classmates from Woodward High School. He loved baseball and sharing his favorite songs. His big smile and even bigger personality are sure to be missed.
Bob was preceded in death by his father, Hilbert, and his mother, Bea. He is survived by his three children, Jennifer, Thomas, and Victoria, his grandson, the mother of his children and former spouse, Gayle, her grandchildren, who Bob loved and cared for as his own, his brother, Fred, his nephew, and many cousins.
In accordance with Bob's wishes, no funeral or memorial service will be held.
To honor his memory, please thank veterans for their service, and to Vietnam veterans, please say, "Welcome home."

From Bob Mosher's Son Tom
"My father passed away on Saturday, October 22nd.
His health had declined in recent years and we knew this day would come. We miss him terribly nonetheless.
He proudly served in Vietnam, loved his kids, and adored his grandkids. He maintained close friendships with a few of his high school classmates and recently attended his 60th high school reunion.
When I was a kid, we used to toss baseball in our backyard on Spring Valley Drive. It's one of my fondest memories of my dad. Fittingly, I tossed baseball with my son on the morning that he passed.
Love ya, Dad."
Bob left instructions to be cremated and at his request, there is to be no service. To honor his memory, please thank Veterans for their service and if you wish, make a donation to your favorite veterans organization.
It is likely that several of his high school friends will organize a "Celebration Of Life" in the near future.

Bob attended Pleasent Ridge Elementary and Shroder Junior High School. At some point in time he lost a year and graduated from Woodward in 1963. After graduation Bob joined the US Army and served in VietNam. Bob was proud of his Army service.
Although a graduate of the 1963 class he identified greatly with the class of 1962. He kept in close contact with members of the class of 1962 and attended their dive dates and reuions. He also attended monthly breakfasts with members of multiple classes and neighborhoods from Bond Hill, Golf Manor, Pleasent Ridge, Kennedy Heights and Silverton. He last atteded the class of 1962's Friday night 60th reunion gathering. Bob's contribution to all the events he attended was welcome and he looked forward to attending all of them. In the past several years he helped organize the bi-monthly dive dates.
His friendly smile,disposition will be greatly missed.

From Bob's daughter Vicki
This came to me tonight, Dad, and wouldn't leave me alone til I wrote it out.
Dear Dad,
Some people say "your life can change in an instant." I know mine certainly did. On October 22, I entered your sicu room at UC to be told by Tom that you didn't make it. At first my mind went blank, didn't make what? Then, as the full meaning of his words sank in, I started wailing, sobbing, saying "no, Daddy, no" "I'm sorry, Daddy, I'm sorry." What was I sorry for, you ask? I'm sorry for not taking more pictures with you, not spending more time with you, not being a better daughter to you. You think you have all the time in the world with someone til you don't. My promise to you is I'm going to be more patient and spend more time with the people I love because life can change in an instant. Dad, your final words to me were I Love You, Be Safe, Thanks For Coming. So Dad:
I Love You
Be Happy
Thanks For Being My Dad.
Love always,
Vicki
