Robert Nevin Ober, 76, of Banning Road, Dawson, went to be with the Lord at 4:39 p.m. Thursday, June 22, 2017, in AHN/Jefferson Hospital, Jefferson Hills, after a long, hard-fought battle with lung diseases.

He enjoyed woodworking, remodeling, bowling, golfing, and rooting for the Steelers and Penguins, along with relaxing by sitting in the sun! Bob had an awesome laugh and wonderful sense of humor!
