George "Bob" Robert Metcalf, 92, had his prayer answered on July 22, 2021, when he went home to be with Jesus. He was born on January 18, 1929 in Potosi, MO., and lived in Fort Wayne, for the past 7 years. He is survived by his wife, Fay (Gamble) Metcalf of Fort Wayne; sons, Allen (Carolyn) Govero of Farmington, MO., and Daniel (Joan) Govero of Columbia, MO.; daughter, Pamela (Metcalf) Shearin of Fort Wayne; 8 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and 4 great great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Frederick & Nellie (Washburn) Metcalf; 10 siblings; 1 granddaughter; and 1 great-grandson.
He was retired from St. Joe/Doe Run Lead Co. in Missouri. He led a spirit filled life and prayed for his family daily. Heaven gained a dedicated Christian, and the world lost a wonderful man, husband, father, and grandfather. He resided at Golden Years Homestead for nearly 3 years, where he and Fay have received the utmost care from the staff of believers.
There will be no public or memorial services, per George's request. Cards can be sent to Fay Metcalf, 3136 Goeglein Rd., Fort Wayne, Indiana, 46815.
