Robert “Bob” J. Gundrum

Robert “Bob” J. Gundrum, 87, of Carrollton, passed away on Monday, January 2, 2023 at Mercy Medical Center in Canton.

A son of the late Benedict and Grace MacCarrol Gundrum, he was born on April 11, 1935 in Steubenville, Ohio.

Bob proudly served his country in the United States Air Force from 1951 until his retirement from the 911AF base in Pittsburgh, as a Master Sergeant from the U.S. Air Force Reserves in 1991. He was a Korean War Veteran and also served as a past chaplain at the Amsterdam VFW Post 232.  Bob also worked at Weirton Steel for 28 years, where he also retired from.  After retiring, Bob started his own “good looking and successful” farm in the Kilgore area, where he and his friends Charles and Mike would farm beef cattle together.  The farm was his main hobby and became his very own “paradise” during the final years of his life.
