            <text>Robert “Bob” Eikost, 60 of Thurman, and formerly of Tiffin passed away at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at his residence.   Born September 9, 1963, in Toledo, Ohio he was one of triplets born to the late Robert Carl and Margaret Van De Mark Eikost Jr.&#13;
&#13;
Bob is survived by his main caregiver for 20 years Lucy Spencer at the Tiffin Developmental Center. Lucy would take him on all kinds of outing, including to her kid’s soccer games. Bob loved car rides so this made him very happy. Also, Bob loved Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Pop Tarts. His family sent them to him and brought them every time they visited him.&#13;
&#13;
In addition to Lucy, Bob is survived by his siblings, Mark (Cathy) Eikost, of Bosnia, Beth Johnson, of Waterville, Ohio, Kathi Ryals, of Cincinnati, and Carolyn (Tom) Dimond, of Dublin, Ohio and numerous nieces and nephews.  &#13;
&#13;
Lucy Spencer showed Bob much love and gave him a sense of family.  The family would like to share this and thank her for the love and support she showed him for all those years. &#13;
&#13;
Graveside services will be held in the Fort Meigs Cemetery, in Perrysburg, Ohio at the convenience of the family. Arrangements are entrusted to the Cremeens-King Funeral Home, Gallipolis.</text>
