DAVID BOBER
David M. Bober, 62, Flushing, Ohio, took his final ride into the arms of the Lord on January 13, 2022.
He was full of life and lived life to the fullest. There wasn’t a person he ever met with whom he didn’t immediately strike up a conversation that would soon develop into a lasting friendship. He was always quick to lend a helping hand to strangers as well as friends. Some endearing nicknames included “Stink, Gene, Larry, Bingo Bob” and who can forget David’s quick wit, warm smile, wink and head nod. David enjoyed and loved his family, riding his Harley Davidson, being a member of the Sons of the Legion, AC-DC, Green Bay Packer and Nascar fan, fireworks, feeding the wildlife in his yard, helping the town and listening to his collection of chimes. He told us his journey was ending, but it really has just begun. Ride on and Fly High Brother !
