Robert L. Jordan, age 90, passed away on Wednesday evening, January 16, 2019, at Aultman Hospital. He was born in Canton on January 24, 1928; a son to the late Welker and Gail Jordan. He graduated from McKinley High School and attended Bowling Green University, having played football at both schools. Robert was a veteran of the Korean Conflict. He retired in 1993, from Fresh Mark. He held a position in Management at the time of retirement. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son Steven S. Jordan and step-daughter Laura (Kirven) Albrecht, and also his brother William Jordan and half-brother John Foster. Robert is survived by his wife Shirley of 47 years; his son Ross R. Jordan and step-children Steven, James and David (Kathy) Kirven; 5 grandchildren Aubrey (Michael) Coghlin, Jimmy Kirven, Courtney Kirven, Cassidy Kirven, and Jacob Kirven; 4 great-grandchildren Mia, Kanoa, Maia, and Makona Coghlin. Bob was an avid golfer and played many games of racquetball. His favorite sporting events were when he watched his sons and grandchildren play at the high school and college level. He attended these games religiously. He was always there. Bob will be greatly missed by his family and friends. If you were to ask, he would have told you the greatest treasures in his life called him Grandpa. He also leaves behind the Friday night happy hour gang who have gotten together weekly for 45 years. They are Phyllis and Dick Conger, Rosalie and Don Wolfe, Sylvia Seymour and Melva Hofmann, Connie Spees, and Barb and Tim Remley. To know him was to love him. If you were his friend, you were lucky. If you were family, you were blessed. Memorial Mass will be held at 10am on Saturday, January 26, 2019, at St. Joseph Catholic Church of Massillon. Calling hours will be held from 6-8pm on Friday, January 25, in the Paquelet Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society in Bob’s memory.
