Robert Lee “Bob” Veigel, age 80, passed away on March 22, 2025, at Ohio’s Hospice Truman House in New Philadelphia, Ohio. Born in Dennison, Ohio, on June 8, 1944, he was the son of the late Homer and Verna (Dickerson) Veigel.
He married Mildred Clum, who preceded him in death on March 8, 2022. He was also preceded in death by his son, Rob Veigel, and his two brothers-in-law, Clifford Cox, and Butch Dreher.
Bob was a skilled worker who spent several years as a bar turner at Republic Steel, where he made a significant impact before his retirement. His commitment to hard work was only rivaled by his sense of duty, which led him to serve in the United States Army for two years during the Vietnam War.
In addition to his professional achievements, Bob was a man of many interests. He found joy in life’s simple pleasures, including his passion for the CB Radio, where he was known by the handle “Fence Post.” His enthusiasm for collecting oil lamps and coins reflected his appreciation for history and craftsmanship.
He leaves behind his two sons; Joseph Veigel, and Daniel Veigel both of Uhrichsville; his grandchildren; Vanessa, Nathan, Johny, and Zachary; along with his brother, John (Betty) Veigel of Sherrodsville; and his sisters, Sandy Cox of Uhrichsville, and Barb Dreher of Uhrichsville.
Cremation has been entrusted to the Toland-Herzig Funeral Homes & Crematory of Dover. To sign an online guestbook for Bob, visit the obituary link on the funeral home’s website.
