Bob began his career in Surgery at Akron General Medical Center and moved on to Barberton Citizens Hospital, where he retired after 35 plus years of service. He was Regional Director of Surgical Services (which included Wadsworth Hospital), Pain Management, Endoscopy, Wound Care, and Outpatient Clinic. He was very skilled with computers and was a past President of R-Base Programming Group.
Bob's love of music gave him the opportunity to perform in
"Docs Who Rock" with Dr. Newman's band "Sound Advice". Bob was a fun guy, and was great at being Master of Ceremonies, at several venues.
The joy of his life was his Wife, Nancy, and his Granddaughter, Deven, who lived with Bob and Nancy for three years. The man who was never going to have animals, bought Deven a dog!

I wrote this before the obituary came out.
Robert M Castanaro was born on the 3rd of August 1952. He graduated from Firestone High School in 1970. Bob had many friends, in school, and work. He worked at AGMC, Barberton Hospital, he operated on knees, and came up with Computer Programs, and did four other Major Fields at the Hospital.
Nancy and Bob were married, and she preceded him in death, just over a year ago.
His sister, Martha J. Castanaro-Hite, was very good to him.
He had many, many friends. Some include: Kathi Damitz, Debbie and Carl Ulrich, Jeff Morris, Michael Pasko, Nancy Collier, Crystal Nason, Randall Benson, (my session is over at the Library, will add more later).
Bob Died on the 22nd of December. This is the 23rd, as I am writing. His obituary will soon be in the Akron Beacon Journal.
