Robert W. "Bob" Stower, 74, of Norwalk, Ohio, passed away peacefully at his home, on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, after a 2-year battle with multiple cancers.  He was born on December 15, 1950, in Norwalk, to the late Robert C. and Mildred E. (Sweet) Stower.  Bob attended Norwalk High School, then Milan High School, graduating as part of the first high school class from Edison High School in 1969.

He was a Parts and Service Manager at the former Martin Motor Sales in Norwalk, and Service Manager at the former Service Garage, retiring from ODOT.

Bob had the kindest heart and would do anything for anyone in need.  He loved to be in the company of his family and friends, especially his granddaughter, Emma.  Their many trips to area parks, coffee shops, and other excursions, made for incredible memories.  He loved football and sprint car racing and was a T-ball coach for many years.  Bob was a member of the Norwalk Eagles and V.F.W.

Bob is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Linda (Duncan) Stower; their daughter, Paige (Bill) Foltz of Norwalk; granddaughter, Emma Kathleen Foltz; brothers, James Stower of Milan, Craig (Carol) Stower of Findlay; aunts, Carol Langer and Ruth Kromer; several nieces and nephews and "Maxine", his faithful, four-legged friend.

In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his brother, Dennis G. Stower.

Bob had requested that everyone attending his services, "come casual, and no suits and ties at my funeral".
