Robert Keith “Bob” Reynolds, 84, of Dublin, Ohio and Fort Myers Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on November 21, 2022 at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He was born on July 25, 1938 to Kenneth William Reynolds and Elizabeth Mae Reynolds in Passaic, New Jersey. He graduated with a B.A. in Economics from Capital University and proudly served in the United States Marine Corps and Reserves from 1962 until 1968. In 1965, he started working for NCR where he met his wife, Bonnie, to whom he was married for 55 years. Together they had 3 daughters; Susan (Chris) Milner of Sandy Spring, MD, Stacy (Doug) Pohlman of Cincinnati, OH and Sharon (Ben) Dewey of Westerville, OH. They also had 7 grandchildren; Forrest, Charlotte and Graham Milner, Josh and Daniel Dewey, and Caroline and Kyle Pohlman. Bob worked for NCR for 29 years, working as a Site Manager, Project Manager, Salesman, and ending his career as a Sales Manager when he retired in 1994. He also served as a Board Member of the Chillowick Village Condo Association from 1982-2004 and was a member of the Sales Executive Club. Bob loved to travel, and he and Bonnie made many wonderful memories traveling with friends and family to places like Spain, China, Australia, Alaska, Jamaica, Scotland, Ireland, and France. One of their favorite trips was hot air ballooning in Prague. Bob had a special talent for finding the best hotels and restaurants all over the globe. He loved York Beach, Maine and vacationed there with family for over 50 years. He enjoyed traveling to play golf at many courses including Congressional, The Greenbrier, and The Half Moon. He loved fishing on Lake Erie with his friends. Bob was an avid gardener and an amazing cook. Each spring he started growing vegetable plants from seeds and loved to spend time in his yard tending to his vegetable garden, herbs and fruit trees. Each fall he went to work canning fruits and vegetables, making homemade tomato sauce, applesauce, and cooking up delicious jams and jellies. From homemade pasta dishes, soups and stews made from scratch, and special holiday treats, Bob loved spending time in the kitchen creating meals for family and friends. He absolutely loved Thanksgiving and started preparing his feast weeks in advance. In 2005 Bob and Bonnie purchased their condo on Fort Myers Beach. They spent 17 winters enjoying the people and weather in Estero Cove. Bob served as a member of the Estero Cove Finance Committee, Water Conservation Committee, and as the Treasurer. He delighted in sitting at his computer and enjoying the warm breeze blow through the windows of the condo in the middle of winter. Bob loved cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes and spent many years tailgating and attending games at the horseshoe with friends. He was a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also enjoyed theatre, music and Broadway shows. He was one of the original members of The Lakes Golf and Country Club in Westerville, Ohio. He loved reading the paper and studying the stock market. He was a strong proponent of education and a life-long learner. He always had a long list of places he wanted to go, things that he was going to do and things he wanted to learn. Bob is survived by his wife, Bonnie and their three daughters Susan, Stacy and Sharon, his sister Judy Zimmerman of State College, PA and numerous friends and family. He is preceded in death by his brother Daniel Reynolds, his parents, Ken and Betty Reynolds, and his in-laws Jim and Tag Hamilton. Bob always remained optimistic despite his many health battles. His family would like to thank his doctors and caregivers and the people at Dublin and Riverside Methodist Hospitals who were so compassionate and took such good care of him. We would also like to thank our many friends and neighbors for their support throughout his illnesses. A Memorial Service will be held at 1pm on December 10 at the Lakes Golf & Country Club, 6740 Worthington Rd., Westerville, Ohio 43082 with a celebration of life open house reception from 2-4pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at jdrf.org.
