Hood – Robert Raver of Crossville passed away on May 12, 2025, in his
home with his wife, Wendy, by his side. He was born in
Lancaster, Ohio. He was very athletic in high school and
graduated from Penn State University majoring in Chemistry. He
remained a true Penn State fan throughout his life and amassed a
large quantity of Penn State shirts. He moved to Lehigh Valley
after graduation and started a construction business. He then left
Pennsylvania and moved to Fort Myers Beach, Florida. One day
he went into Anthony’s by the Sea to meet a friend and sat next to
a lady named Wendy who was vacationing from Illinois. When
she left to go home, he kept in touch daily and when the phone
bills were approaching $2000, he decided to join her in Illinois.
He told her he had met the love of his life. They went to Las
Vegas and got married in 1974. Bob was very involved in the
Knights of Columbus in Dekalb, Illinois and was a fourth degree
Knight. When Wendy retired, they moved to Fairfield Glade. He
enjoyed gardening, building things, watching football, going to
casinos, being with his cats, and living in such a beautiful place.
Thank you to Gentiva Hospice and Enhabit home health care for
taking such good care of him.

He is survived by his wife, Wendy, and in-laws Laurie and
Gregory Kalata. No service is planned at this time.
