Robert "Bob" John Ohrman

ADRIAN- Robert “Bob” John Ohrman, 89, of Adrian died early Thursday morning, June 30, 2022 at ProMedica Toledo Hospital. Born on October 9, 1932 in St. Charles, Missouri, he is the son of Harry and Theresa (Darling) Ohrman. Bob graduated in 1950 from St. Peter’s High School where he was an accomplished athlete in baseball and basketball. He also played for the local American Legion Team and County Baseball League. After high school, Bob was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies baseball club to play in their organization as a pitcher. An injury to his arm brought his professional baseball to an end. In the fall of 1951, Bob came to Adrian College where he excelled in football and basketball. During his time at AC, Bob set several school records and still holds the record for the most field goals in one game with seventeen. Bob had to put his college education on hold as he was drafted into the United States Army in 1953 during the Korean War. After serving his country for two years, Bob returned to AC where he finished his bachelor’s degree in business and returned to play sports again. Bob was installed in the Adrian College Hall of Fame as one of the charter members; along with his basketball jersey being retired and displayed at the Merillat Sports Center. He was also a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. Bob worked in industrial sales for several years before building and operating Bob O’s golf driving range. He was also the Division Manager of Rollins Security Service where he retired after 20 years with many accounts in Lenawee and Jackson counties. On June 21, 1958 Bob married Janet Hull at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Adrian, MI where they have been lifelong members. Bob and Janet recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. As much as Bob enjoyed sports, he loved and treasured the time spent with his family even more. You could find him at school and sporting activities cheering on his children and grandchildren. Bob was a member of the Adrian High School Chain Gang for 27 years and a member of the Adrian Dads and Fans Club. He was an avid reader, excelled in history trivia and always made time to watch Jeopardy in the evenings. In addition to his wife, Janet, Bob is survived by their children, Kevin (Cindy) Ohrman, Timothy Ohrman and Karen Hunt; grandchildren, Bradlee Ohrman, Brenton (McKenna) Ohrman and Jaelei (Drew) Jackson, Haley Hunt and Zachary (Alice) Hunt; great grandchildren; Baylor, Marleigh and Cannon; and sisters, Gertrude Meyer and Jeneanne Niggemeier and many many nieces and nephews.
