Bob was born in Fostoria, OH, on September 2, 1954, to Charles Theodore and Anna Rose (Boullion) Thiry. He graduated from St. Wendelin High School in Fostoria, OH. After high school, he began a career as an HVAC Professional, while serving in the US Navy Seabee Reserves.
In 1977, he married his beloved wife, Lin Feisel, and they shared a life filled with love and laughter. Bob and Lin relocated to the Kansas City area in 1982, eventually settling in Harrisonville in 1988. Throughout his life, Robert found joy in woodworking, antiquing, and collecting Texaco memorabilia. A proud member of the VFW, Robert also had a passion for all things John Wayne, including visiting his birthplace for family trips. In true Bob fashion, his wishes for his loved ones are to honk at blue Ford pick-ups, enjoy a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon in his memory, and refrain from leaving "Happy Heavenly Birthday" wishes for him.
Bob was preceded in death by his father, Charles. He is survived by his wife, Lin; children: Melissa Thiry and Robert "Bobby" C. Thiry (Jennifer); mother, Anna Thiry; siblings: Charlotte Hipsher (Mike), Karen Munson, William "Bill" Thiry, Bernadette Reinhart (Rick), and John Thiry (Sherri); 2 grandchildren: Zoey Boyer and Adriana Thiry; and, Brett Roelle (Amy).
