Robert Boden

Robert Boden, 90, of Carey, was born in Wharton on Sept. 7, 1933, to Quentin and Edith Boden. He left this world on April 19, 2024, at The Manor at Greendale in Findlay. His last days were spent with his family by his side holding his hand.
Robert eloped and married the love of his life, Marie Boden (Taylor) on Oct. 13, 1951. They were happily married for 69 years. She preceded him in death (2021).
Robert was a wonderful father to six kids: Robert A. (Sandra) Boden Jr. of Dayton, Christina (Michael) Prater of Altus, Okla., Scott (Robyn) Boden (preceded in death), Laurie Scalf of Dayton, Kenneth (Jill) Boden of Carey and Kelly Boden of Carey; 15 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his brothers: Harold, Carl, Clarence and David, and sisters: Ester, Clarabell, Doris, Reva, Mable and Mary.
Robert, pops, poppy, grandpa, dad, Bob, was a patient, generous and an amazing man, who loved his family beyond measure. He lived for family gatherings and playing games like cornhole, horseshoes and croquet. He was thrilled to have a massive amount of fireworks for his 90th birthday party. After his party, he continued to wear his birthday T-shirt for all the extra “Happy Birthday’s.”
Robert was a toolmaker at Airfoil Textron in Fostoria. After retirement he spent his time caring for his wife, fishing with his brothers and as a talented carpenter, he built beautiful furniture and helped his family with home projects. He was known to organize everything, because “everything has its place,” especially his tools. He would organize your tools if given the opportunity. Whatever Robert did, he did wholeheartedly and to perfection.
Visitation for Robert will be on Wednesday, April 24, from noon until the time of his celebration of life service at 2 p.m. at Stombaugh-Batton & Snyder Funeral Home, Carey, with the Rev. Steve Sturgeon officiating. Burial will follow at Spring Grove Cemetery in Carey.
