Robert   (Bob)   Holzbacher   passed   away   on   December   28,   2019   in   Largo   Florida,   with   his   family   at his   side.   He   was   born   on   April   17,   1946   to   the   late   Robert   and   Eula   Holzbacher.   He   was   also   preceded   in death   by   his   sister   Deborah   Brown.   He   is   survived   by   his   three   children,   Gretchen   Vetter (Josh)    Kurt Holzbacher   (Cheri)   and   Jennifer   Rehm(Ted).   Bob   has   three   grandchildren,   Cole,   Kaitlyn   and   Aubrie   and one   living   great   grandchild,   Emberlynn.   He   has   one   living   sister,   Donna   Cautela (Rick).  

Other   relatives   include   his   two   nieces,   Christina   Royer   and   Tara   Cautela-Owings.   Two   nephews Dustin   Holzbacher   (Racheal)   and   Nathan   Brown   (BillyJean) and   six   great   nephews,   Louie,   Richard, Augustus,   Zane, Robert,   and   Theo,   and   two   great   nieces,   Riley   and   Reagan.  

Bob   was   born   in   Columbus,   Ohio   and   was   in   the   first   graduating   class   of   Brookhaven   High School.   After   high   school   he   was   inducted   in   the   army   on   September   4,   1965.   He   served   in   Vietnam   as   a door   gunner   on   a   Huey    helicopter,   serving   in   the   71st   Aviation   Company.   He   distinguished   himself   by extraordinary   heroism   while   engaged   in   combat   in   Vietnam.   He   received   the   air   medal   with   the   “V” device   as   well   as   a   purple   heart,   a   Vietnam   Campaign   medal   with   two   stars,   a   National   Defense   Service medal,   and   a Marksman/Aircraft   Crewman   badge.   He   came   home   on   September   6,   1971   and   then   fulfilled his    Reserve   obligation.   In   2006,   the   state   of   Ohio   awarded   him   by   inducting   him   in   the   Ohio   Hall   of Fame   for   Valor.

Bob   married   Cynthia   Brandon   and   they   had   three   wonderful   children.   Although   they   eventually divorced,   they   remained   close.   Bob   was   truly   his   own   man   and   had   a   no   nonsense   manor.   If   you   did   not know   him   well,   he   could   be   somewhat   intimidating   but   once   you   got   to   know   him,   you   would   find   a   fun and   loving   man   with   a   love   for   his   country.   Bob   had   many   interests   which   included   hunting,   fishing,   and cooking.   He   liked   to   cook   what   he   brought   home   from   hunting   and   fishing.   The   most   interesting   things   he brought   home   were   alligators   and   snakes. He   told   us   that   alligator   tasted   like   chicken,   and   snake   was delicious!   We   did   try   it   and   it   wasn’t   bad   but   one   needed   to   acquire   a   taste…..

Bob   had   many   friends.   He   worked   at   the   Sheraton   Sand   Key   Hotel   in   Florida   for   years.   He   often said   it   was   the   best   place   he   ever   worked.   He   made   many   lifelong   friends   there.   He   was   active   in   his Masonic   Lodge   until   he   became   ill.   He   belonged   to   the   American   Legion.   Dave   Edwards   was   a   good friend   over   the   years   and   was   a   member   of   the   legion   and   Masons   with   him.   He   loved   history, particularly,   Civil   War   history.   His   favorite   place   to   go   was   Gettysburg   which   he   visited   every   year   with family   and   friends.   He   met   two   very   special   friends   up   there,   Butch   and   Sandy   Youncofski   and   scheduled his   visits   to   Gettysburg   to   match   theirs   every   year   in   October.  

Bob   lived   in   a   duplex,   with him   on   one   side   and   his   landlady   on   the   other.   Her   name   was   Lucy. Over   time,   they   became   good   friends.   She   enjoyed   Bob’s   company   playing   cards.   Bob   began   to   have serious   health   issues   and   Lucy   was   always   there   to   help   him.   When   his   illness   progressed   and   he   could   no longer   live   independently,   she   was   always   there   for   him.   Not   only   was   Lucy   there   for   him   but   her   whole family,   Karl,   Patrick   and   Olivia   were   as   well.   Our   family   cannot   thank   her   and   her   family   enough.  

Bob   suffered   for   years   before   they   diagnosed   him   with   Parkinson’s disease   which   affected   every part   of   his   body.   Bob   never   complained,   and   he   enjoyed   what   he   had,   friends,   football,   especially   the   Ohio State   Buckeyes.   He   was   an   avid   reader   and   embraced   life.   If   you   planned   a   visit   he   requested   a cheeseburger   and milkshake.   Bob’s   body   gave   out   but   his   mind   was   sharp   as   a   “tack”.   We   know   Bob   is   in a   good   place   now.   God   got   a   very   good   man.

Graveside services with military honors will take place at 2 p.m., Friday, January 24, 2020 at Bay Pines National Cemetery.
