October 21, 1940 — November 29, 2023
Robert Dean Philo, age 83, of Sylvania, Ohio, passed away November 29, 2023 at his home. He was born October 21, 1940 in Bowling Green, Ohio, to the late Robert and Alma (Miller) Philo.
Robert attended Bowling Green High School and was subsequently employed at the GM Power train Plant in Toledo, Ohio where he started in the factory and in his later career was promoted to a Union Benefits Representative, where he retired after 39 years of service. He dedicated his life to providing for his family by working hard and took great pride in both his family and career. When he wasn't working, he enjoyed socializing at the VFW Post 2898 with his many friends, family, and coworkers.

Roberts laughter and unintentional humor will forever be missed by all who knew him.
