SEYMOUR

Robert F. “Bob” Trueblood, 77, of Seymour passed away Thursday, May 19, 2016, at Schneck Medical Center.

Born Aug. 2, 1938, in Medora, he was the son of Francis Marion “Chin” and Edith Thralls Trueblood. He married Shirley K. Berry on April 15, 1967, in Connersville, and she survives.

Bob was a member of Peace Lutheran Church in Seymour. A 1956 graduate of Medora High School and a veteran of the U.S. Navy, he retired in 2000 from being a cross-country truck driver. He was a member of Eagles Aerie 655, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1925 and was a Past Master of Jackson Lodge 146 Free and Accepted Masons, Seymour.
