Robert J. Vashro (Bobby) age 63, passed away peacefully at home on May 13th, 2022. Bobby was born on May 20, 1958 in Minneapolis and grew up in Golden Valley MN. He graduated from Robbinsdale high school and North Hennepin Community College. He maintained boyhood friendships that carried into adulthood and remain today.
He married the love of his life, Lynn Eggersgluss, in August 2008.
Bob loved his daughter, Jessica, and was looking forward to welcoming his first grandchild the fall. He will miss the birthday dinners they shared together.
Bob was a consummate bartender, with his career spanning decades. He worked at the Robbinsdale Municipal, the Robbinsdale VFW, and ultimately purchased the Otter's Saloon in 2010. The people he served were not just customers, they became friends for life.
He loved cherry tomatoes, corvettes, bobble heads, limousines, bar bands, and cowboy boots. He did not like Jude, the family cat (eye roll, Lynn), but she was a part of the deal in getting Lynn to marry him.
Bob loved kids, dogs, and his friends at Otter's Saloon and they loved him back. He will be remembered for his generosity, his bright smile, and his wry sense of humor! He loved all sports, particularly basketball and Michael Jordan, so much that Lynn chose August 23 (Jordan's number) as their wedding date so Bob would always remember their anniversary (which he did!)
Preceded in death by his parents Raymond and Rosemary Vashro, sister Barb Vashro, mother and father-in-law Marylin and Mel Eggersgluss.
Survived by his wife, Lynn Vashro; daughter Jessica (Matt) Huston; siblings Sue (Glen) Sondag, Denice (Tim) Dess, Rosie (David) Draper; many brother and sister-in-laws; many neices, nephews, cousins, and his many friends.
