Bob was born in Shelby, Ohio on March 6, 1924. He was the son of Alva and Marie (Phelps) Foreman. Bob retired from Empire Detroit Steel where he was a supervisor. Bob proudly served in the United States Army during World War II as a medic. He was a member of Westwood Alliance Church. Bob was an avid fisherman and spent most of his free time fishing. He always had a “fishing story” to share about his latest outing. When he wasn’t fishing, Bob enjoyed gardening.
He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Ruth Foreman; his sons, Bob (Carol) Foreman, Richard (Lynne) Foreman, and Ron (Sandy) Foreman; his daughter, Patty (Ron) Fultz; his daughter-in-law, Andrea Foreman; his step-children, Fred Pursley, Gerald Pursley, Viola Thornsberry, and Jeanette (Ed) Kershner; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife of 47 years, Evelyn “Toots” Foreman; his sons, Ken Foreman and Don Foreman; step-son-in-law, Randy Thornsberry; and his best friend and fishing buddy, Willie Rose.
