Robert Charles Eldridge, 92, of Carlisle, OH, and formerly of Germantown, OH, passed away, March 8, 2019 surrounded by his loving family. Bob was born in Dayton, OH on February 7, 1927 as the oldest child of Alonzo & Lorraine (Umpenhour) Eldridge. He was a 1945 graduate of Jefferson High School and went on to work 35 years at Dayton Press (McCall Corp). Bob's work career was interrupted while he became a soldier in the U.S. Army during WWII. In 1950 Bob married the love of his life, Lois Barnhart and settled down in Germantown where they began their life together. Bob loved being outdoors, playing cards, woodworking, gardening, boating, camping and fishing. He could fix or build anything you needed! Personally Bob was quiet, funny, loving and smart. He was also an honest, caring and reliable man who was always there for his family.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers, Gene & Jack; sisters, Patricia & Karen.
