Robert Barlow

Robert Lamy Barlow, Sr., surrounded by love and faith, received the Sacrament of Holy Communion in his final hours and passed away peacefully at home in Dublin Ohio on Sunday, November 24, 2024 at the age of 80. 

Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, Bob was the beloved husband of 30 years to his devoted wife, Judith Barlow. Robert was the cherished son of the late John F. Barlow II and the late Genevieve Lamy Barlow. He was a loving father to Robert Barlow, Jr., Christopher Barlow, and Genevieve Barlow (Jeff Stevens), and a proud and doting “Papa” to his grandsons, Hutchinson and Lucas Stevens. A dear brother to the late Ronald R. Barlow (Sally) and the late John F. “Jack” Barlow, and a treasured uncle, great uncle, cousin, colleague, mentor, and friend to many.

Bob was a Surety Bond Manager by trade, but lived a life filled with simple joys: cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Ohio State Buckeyes, savoring a slice of banana cream pie, traveling with his beloved Judy, and sharing laughter with his family through what they fondly called "Bob jokes." His warm humor, kindness, and enduring love for his family and friends will be deeply missed.

ServicesA Celebration of Life service will be held in late March at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Dublin, Ohio. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the National Kidney Foundation in Bob’s memory.
