Leo G. Grob, Jr. (“Butch”), loving husband, father, and opa, passed away at home on Friday, February 3, 2023, at the age of 79.

Leo was born March 26, 1943, in Wheeling, West Virginia, to the late Leo and Elizabeth Grob. In addition to extended family and lifelong friends, he is survived by his wife of 50 years, Allegonda “Liesje” Grob; son, Aaron Grob and partner “Kimmy Cakes” Wendt; daughter and son-in-law, Tiffany and Adam Shindler; grandson, Aiden Grob; and Golden Retriever, Bella.

Leo graduated from Marshall University with a degree in Accounting (Go Herd!). While not Jewish, he was a founding member of the ZBT fraternity there. He started his career working for the state of Ohio and went on to work for BF Goodrich during which time he traveled to almost every area of the United States. He lived in San Francisco during the early 70s and ultimately married and raised his family in Portage Lakes, Ohio. Leo enjoyed sunsets from the boat, golf, traveling, beach vacations, and lake life. There was never a shortage of parties and good times.

Per his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no calling hours. A funeral mass will be held at his long time parish, St. Francis de Sales, 4019 Manchester Road, Coventry, Ohio, on Saturday, February 18th at 11:00 a.m., with Fr. David Bline officiating.
