Robert R. "Bob" Head, 80, peacefully passed away on August 26, 2026, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio Perrysburg, embraced by his loving family. Born on May 10, 1946, in Palatka, FL to Francis and Mildred (Willey) Head, Bob lived a life marked by dedication and warmth.

For over 25 years, he diligently worked as an Operator with Lucas County Engineers. A true Ohio State Buckeye enthusiast, Bob found joy in coaching the Stars League Walbridge Wildcats and Walbridge Tigers for 13 years.
