ROBERT LEE "BOB" MATTINGLY, 86, St. Marys, W.V., died Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2010, after a courageous battle with prostate cancer. Mattingly was born in Akron, Ohio, and spent his formative years on Frogtown Road in Marion County.
He was a United States Naval Veteran of World War II serving on the USS William C. Miller in the South Pacific as a cook/welder First Class.

In later years, he and his wife, Margie, were the owners and proprietors of the Silver Spur Night Club in St. Marys, W.V. Mattingly enjoyed visiting with military friends; especially attending annual Navy reunions and sharing stories from the service days.
An excellent welder who "did the craft proud," Bob constantly worked on welding projects and enjoyed other entrepreneurial business ventures. He also enjoyed boating with his family in various rivers and lakes in West Virginia and deep sea fishing in the south.
