Robert Frank “Bob” Pacha

Robert Frank “Bob” Pacha, 66 of Richwood, died Thursday morning June 22, 2023 at the Hospice of Central Ohio, following a long battle with A.L.S.

He was born December 3, 1956 in Marion to the late Robert Russel and Marion L. (Millette) Pacha. He was also preceded in death by a brother-in-law, John Willis and a niece, Shelby McClincy.

Bob was a retired truck driver. He had served our country in the United States Navy. Bob was one of those guys that could do or fix just about anything. If it was wood or metal, it didn’t matter, he could do it. Bob was the one in the family that everyone leaned on for help, he was always there for them. He loved being on “two wheels”, his Harley riding days were very special to him.
Bob will be remembered for his loving, caring spirit, but also for his dry, quick wit.

Surviving are his sisters, Doris Willis of Richwood and Kathy (Alan) Fitzpatrick of Marysville, his companion, Janet Matthews of Richwood.
Five grandchildren and nieces and nephews and extended family.

The family would like to thank Ashley and Melody for their loving care for Bob at the end of his life.

A Funeral Mass will be held Tuesday June 27, 2023 at 10:30 am at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Marysville. Father Kevin Kavanagh will officiate. Burial will follow in the Claibourne Cemetery with Military Honors conducted by the Vietnam Veterans of America #1095. Friends may call Monday from 5-7 pm at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home in Richwood.
