In Memory Of
Robert "Bob" Faulkner
1946 - 2020

Robert Allen Faulkner. age 74, died Saturday, December 26, 2020 after a month-long battle with Covid-19. He was born in Dayton, Ohio on April 15, 1946. He is preceded in death by his parents Robert and June Faulkner. He is survived by 5 brothers and sisters, Thomas Faulkner, Jack (Judith) Faulkner, Joy Faulkner, Barbara (William) Kedler and Marcia Bostick. He leaves behind his dear friends Ray Rayburg and Alan Joe Monnin and numerous other friends, acquaintenances, peers and all whose lives he touched over the years. He also leaves behind his beloved nieces and nephews (Wendy, Marlo, Thomas, Kimberley, Kristin, Nicole, William and Andrew) and their families.

Bob graduated from Vandalia-Butler High School in 1964. He worked at downtown Sears for many years and then worked at Hobart in Troy until his retirement.

Bob had many loves and interests since childhood. He owned and showed champion Samoyeds, judged dog shows, raised roller pigeons, and absolutely loved his 3 acres of flowers, trees, sculptures and koi pond. He spent almost every moment working and improving the landscape and for the last 25 years was an internationally known hybridizer of daylilies. He traveled the country talking about his passion for daylilies and his talks were the highlight of many garden clubs and meetings.

He was a member of many clubs including Region 2 American Daylily Society, the Shirley Farmer Club, local pond, koi and daffodil clubs and numerous other organizations.

He was a natural athlete, funniest person in the room at all times and would give you the shirt off his back. He will be so missed by all who were lucky enough to be within his circle. He loved the Cincinnati Bengals and his Ohio State Buckeyes.

Bob was a member of The Covenant at Sugar Grove Church and gave his life to Jesus Christ many years ago. We look so forward to being with him again in eternity.

We'd like to thank the staff at Grandview Hospital for its kindnesses to Bob and his family during this difficult time.

Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday September 11, 2021 at The Covenant at Sugar Grove Church 7875 Kessler-Frederick Rd, Tipp City, OH 45371.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The Covenant at Sugar Grove Church or any other charitable organization of your choice.
