Robert U. Nininger

Robert U. Nininger, 89 of LaRue, died Saturday morning July 16, 2022 at his home.

He was born June 21, 1933 in Delaware County to the late Alvy and Hazel (Austin) Nininger. He was also preceded in death by a daughter and son-in-law, Christine (Douglas) Farley and two brothers and three sisters.

Bob was retired from Wyandot in Marion, where he worked for 31 years. A farmer at heart, he enjoyed farming his whole life. He also collected two cylinder tractors (mostly John Deere). Bob had served our country in the United States Air Force. He had formerly attended the Meeker United Methodist Church and the John Stewart UMC in Upper Sandusky.

His family always came first. He was willing to help them with whatever needed done. He was a true “Family Man”.

On September 11, 1955 at the Meeker UMC, he married Margaret (Oldham) and she survives. Also surviving is their daughter, Rebecca Nininger of Morral and a brother, Lewis (Thelma) Nininger of Johnstown. And numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Funeral Services will be held Thursday July 21, 2022 at 12 noon at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home in LaRue. Pastor Steve Sturgeon will officiate. Burial will follow in the LaRue Cemetery. Friends may call one hour prior to the service beginning at 11 am at the funeral home in LaRue.

Worked with Bob for a lot of years at Wyandot. Then would see him and his wife at the Y or shopping at Meijer when I worked there for awhile. Always a character but very good fellow to work with. My sympathies to his family.

Bob was a super proficient operator at Wyandot amd worked hard at every task he had. He really stood out as one of the best men I had ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was a giant of a man in so manyy ways. I am so sorry he is no longer with your family. God bless.

Becky, I am so sorry to see this about your dad. He was such a nice guy to us when we came to your house. I remember he would bring me crunchy cheese puffs from work. By the way I still like them and thought of him when I get them. Just sad that we lose touch with friends over the years that meant so much to us in our younger years. I was also surprised to see Chris and her husband had passed. I am deeply sorry for that; I know you guys were so close. Please tell your mom I am thinking of you both at this time. Hugs to you and her. I would love to get together with my old friend to catch up. If you need anything, please call or email. Praying for your family, Janey Fassler 740-225-7279
