Robert Charles Nash

Robert Charles Nash, 87, beloved son, husband, father, and grandfather, left to be with his Heavenly Father on June 17, 2016. Son of the late Frances and Charles Nash, he was born in Nyack, NY on March 1, 1929 and lived there until he joined the Army in 1948. He served in the Korean War and was awarded the Army Occupation Medal (Japan), the Korean Service Medal with 5 bronze campaign stars, the UN Service Medal, and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal. Following his military service, he moved from New York to Miami, FL. He began working for Eastern Airlines where he met the love of his life, Mary Lou. They were married on June 1, 1957 in St. John’s Episcopal Church, Cambridge. After 12 years with Eastern Airlines he began a career in the up-and-coming computer industry and went to work with Sperry-Univac. With Univac, he and his family had the opportunity to live in Copenhagen, Denmark and Ontario, Canada before returning to Hollywood, Florida where they raised their three daughters. Bob enjoyed computers, reading, classical music, playing bridge, traveling, swimming, and having afternoon coffee and dough-nuts at Dunkin Donuts. He also spent time pursuing photography. Yet most of all he enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren and his beloved wife, Mary Lou. He was adventurous: he learned to ski on his 59th birthday and had fun on annual family ski trips for many years. His family and friends will always remember his sense of humor, good jokes, and his ability to see humor in many situations. He was a very gentle man, unselfish, and always kind to others. He retired from Univac at the age of 60. In their retirement, Bob and Mary Lou relocated to Palm City, FL where they were members of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church. He helped Mary Lou deliver Meals on Wheels, and he attended the computer club in his community. He was continually curious and eager to learn new things especially those related to technology. He is survived by his wife Mary Lou (McCartney); his three daughters, Bonnie Bawel (Paul) of Sagle, Idaho; Suzanne Sutherland (Jim) of Durango, Colorado; and Jenny Humbert (Bill) of Santa Fe, New Mexico; his three grandsons, Michael Bawel, Tom Bawel, and Eric Sutherland; and numerous nieces and nephews. Visitation will be held on Friday, June 24, 2016 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at Bundy-Law Funeral Home, Cambridge. Holy Eucharist will be celebrated Saturday, June 25th at 11:00 am at St. John’s Episcopal Church. Burial will follow in Northwood Cemetery, where Military Graveside Rites will be conducted by the Guernsey County Veteran's Council. Memorial contributions may be made to St. John’s Episcopal Church.
