Robert "Bob" J. Riggleman
November 26, 2025
It is with great sadness that Robert “Bob” J Riggleman, age 71, of Norwalk, was called to be with the Lord on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, at his home surrounded by his family.
He was born August 13, 1954, in Norwalk, OH to the late Hobert and Beatrice (Boose) Riggleman. Bob worked many years for Price Construction Co., as a mechanic and truck driver. He then worked at the former Bleile Supply Co until they changed to Tuffman Equipment and Supply in Norwalk, which he loved and worked for over 30 years.
He married the love of his life on October 14, 1978. Bob could fix any tractors or old equipment, built his house from the ground up and maintained service for their vehicles. He loved helping others without hesitation and rebuilt old tractors to run like new. He enjoyed cutting wood and “puttering” outside.
He is survived by his loving wife, Christine of 47 years; children, Monica (Joseph) Pyles, Samantha Riggleman, all of Norwalk; granddaughters, Violet, Harlow and Mina Pyles, whom he loved deeply and would do anything for them; also survived by his siblings, John (Kathy) Riggleman, Michael (Janet) Riggleman and Kathy Kaman.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and brother, Mark Riggleman; sister, Maribel Brown; most recently, sisters, Ellen Petee and Julie Montgomery whom we lost this last week.
Per his wishes there will be no visitation. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at a later date for family and friends, where memories will be shared, stories told and his legacy of love honored.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cancer Services, 505 E. Perkins Avenue, Sandusky, OH 44870 in his name.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff of First Health Hospice in caring for him and all of the support they gave the family.
Arrangements entrusted to the Evans Funeral Home, 314 E. Main Street, Norwalk, OH.
