Robert Frederick Johns

Bob passed way early November 8 with his wife and daughter at his side, after living ardently with heart issues for many years. His spirit was great and love for his family and friends unmatched. Bob grew up in Grosse Pointe Woods, graduated from Grosse Pointe High in1968 and then went on to graduate from the University of Colorado. He remained in Colorado where downhill skiing was his passion and photography and travel became his dream come true. He met his wife Anne in Boulder, married in 1980, and made a home with their daughter, Alexandra. Commercial photography became his career, taking him on adventures all over the world. He and family eventually moved back to Grosse Pointe to be closer to family. He was an athlete in tennis, biking, golf, and always skiing. His devotion to family and friendships was strong.

Bob is survived by his life anchors, wife Anne, adored daughter Alex, sister Pat Turner (Tom), brother Gary Johns (Theresa), sister in law Evelyn Sibbernsen (the late Chip), brother in law Andy Sibbernsen (Debbie). He was so fond and interested in his nieces and nephews Erik (Rose) Colin (Anna), Maddie (Phil), Marshall (Colette), Jessie (Colin), Drew (Erin), Kim (Mark), Sarah (Matthew), and their children.

A private service will be held.
