Bob, 73, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at his Toledo, Ohio home on Thursday, December 28, 2023 following a long struggle with lung disease, which he endured with a positive spirit and determination throughout. He was born in Toledo June 8, 1950 to Robert Hiser and Virginia Kohli. Bob graduated from Libbey High School in 1968. On January 31, 1970, he married Ilene Feltner, to whom he remained lovingly devoted until his passing.
A calming presence with a kind heart, sharp mind, and honest nature, Bob brought immense joy, love, and laughter to all who knew him. From an early age, Bob was a passionate fan of Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Browns football. He passed that passion on to his children and grandchildren and rarely watched a game without one or more of them cheering along with him. Bob also enjoyed gardening, Axis and Allies board games, and watching his favorite TV shows. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family.
As Bob rests in eternal peace, his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his loved ones. While we mourn his loss, we are grateful for the countless memories and impact he had on our lives.
Bob is survived by his wife, Ilene Hiser; children, Amy Hiser, Robert Hiser, Bryan (Anum) Hiser, and Dawn Hiser; grandchildren, Kierrah (Jason) Wallace, Lacey (Cody) Yeary, Kailynn Lusetich, Noah Lusetich, Lexie Hiser, Jayden (Lilly) Rios, and Oliver Hiser; as well as 11 great-grandchildren; siblings, Michael Kohli, Patty (Mike) Smith, Lisa (Fred) Sharifi and John Hiser. He is preceded in death by both parents and great-grandchild Santino Sauceda; mother and father in-law, Mae and Garrett Feltner and daughter in-law, Sagana Hill Hiser.
