Robert Thiry Obituary

Robert Lawrence "Bob" Thiry

Robert Lawrence "Bob" Thiry, 69, of Harrisonville, Missouri, passed away Sunday, July 21, 2024, at KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas.

Bob was born Sept. 2, 1954, in Fostoria, to Charles Theodore and Anna Rose (Boullion) Thiry. He graduated from St. Wendelin High School in Fostoria. After high school, he began a career as an HVAC Professional while serving in U.S. Navy Seabee Reserves.

In 1977, he married his beloved wife, Lin Feisel, and they shared a life filled with love and laughter. Bob and Lin relocated to the Kansas City area in 1982, eventually settling in Harrisonville in 1988. Throughout his life, Robert found joy in woodworking, antiquing, and collecting Texaco memorabilia. A proud member of VFW, Robert also had a passion for all things John Wayne, including visiting his birthplace for family trips. In true Bob fashion, his wishes for his loved ones are to honk at blue Ford pick-ups, enjoy a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon in his memory, and refrain from leaving "Happy Heavenly Birthday" wishes for him.

He is survived by his wife, Lin; children, Melissa Thiry and Robert "Bobby" C. Thiry (Jennifer); mother, Anna Thiry; siblings, Charlotte Hipsher (Mike), Karen Munson, William "Bill" Thiry, Bernadette Reinhart (Rick), and John Thiry (Sherri); two grandchildren, Zoey Boyer and Adriana Thiry; and Brett Roelle (Amy).

Bob was preceded in death by his father, Charles.

Funeral Mass will be 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024, at St. Wendelin Catholic Church in Fostoria.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to St. Wendelin Catholic Church, Fostoria.

Arrangements are being handled by HOENING & SON FUNERAL HOME, 133 W. Tiffin St., Fostoria, Ohio, 44830.
