Robert (Bob) Warren Carroll

Robert (Bob) Warren Carroll, 84, of Chillicothe, Ohio passed away Thursday, April 23, 2026 after 43 years of loving his wife, Gloria Dean nẻe Kempton. Bob was born March 27, 1942 to Delbert Foster Carroll and Ruth nẻe Giffin in Bainbridge Ohio, where he grew up on the family farm.

Bob served as a Maintenance Man for the Ross County Commissioners for many years! Retiring in 2005. Throughout his life Bob was an avid Fisherman and Hunter. He enjoyed golfing and riding his motorcycle. He was a very patient and skilled carpenter; you name it he could build it! He was a life member of the Chillicothe Moose Lodge 1626. He also held memberships with both the Ross Co. Conservation League and Chillicothe Eagles. He loved his family and friends, never declining the opportunity to help anyone. In his later years if he wasn’t home watching his westerns, Nascar, or on his porch watching the trains go by, you could find him having his coffee at Frisch’s Big Boy . So many memories I’m sure he will carry forever!

In addition to his parents, he is predeceased by both of his brothers Albert Foster Carroll, and Frank William Carroll, brother-in-law Fred Morris, daughter Bobbilyn Hardesty, stepson Gary Dean Vandermark, and grandson Ryan Hardesty.
