Robert "Bob" Clarence Fish's Obituary
Robert "Bob" Clarence Fish, age 77, of Lewes, DE passed away after a long battle with cancer, at home on Saturday, September 24, 2016. He was born Saturday, September 23, 1939 in St. Louis, MO, son of the late Clarence and Clementine (Rupe) Fish.
Mr. Fish proudly served in the United States Navy for 20 years where he made his career as a Sailor. After retiring from the Navy he held many jobs, including his dream job, working in the Pro Shop at Marsh Island Golf Course. He loved it because it entitled him to free rounds of golf. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing pool, working on model trains and classic cars. He was a huge Baltimore Orioles and Washington Redskins fan.
Mr. Fish never met a stranger. He would talk to anyone and within a couple of minutes he would know everything about them. He was also known for his great story telling abilities. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend who will be missed by all who knew him.
