July 20, 1935 — September 5, 2018
Robert T. Charvat, age 83, of Medina, passed away on September 5, 2018. He was born on July 20, 1935 in Lakewood, OH, to the late Ralph and Hazel (nee Oldendorf).
Robert enjoyed all things sports related, especially his Cleveland Browns, Indians, and Cavs. He enjoyed the outdoors, but mostly loved to golf and fish. He was a beloved Papa to grandchildren Joe (12), Charlie (8), Mia (6), Rylee (3), and Bryce (6 months). He was a graduate of Parma Senior High School where he ran track, held many track records, and competed in the state championships. Robert proudly served his country in the Army from 1957 to 1959. He worked for Ohio Bell, Lucent Technologies, and AT&T for over 30 years. His most beloved job came after retirement when he drove a bus for over 10 years for the Highland Local School District transporting students with special needs. After his second retirement, he enjoyed fixing anything in his workshop, and assembling and repairing golf clubs for his friends. He also enjoyed his golf outings with his lifelong friends from the Parma School District.
He will be dearly missed by his beloved wife, Ellie (nee Montgomery) and sons Matt (Patti) and Mitch (Niki).
He was preceded in death by his parents Ralph and Hazel, and his brother Tom.
