Robert Bob Bush

Robert Bush, 85, died October 1. Mr. Bush was born and raised in Michigan and moved to Florida from Indiana in 1984. He attended Flint Junior College and Michigan State University. He was a U.S. Navy veteran and took the 44th Honor Flight to Washington D.C.. Bob was a Banker for 25 years and spent 10 years in Healthcare Administration. Survivors include his wife, Sharon Bush; sons Kenneth Bush, Lewisville, NC; Gerald Bush, Bradenton, Fl; and four grandsons. Bob was an active volunteer; enjoyed golf, reading and music. He was also a member of North Lake Presbyterian Church. Bob loved the game of golf. Some of Ken and Jerry's earliest memories are of Mom and Dad on the golf course. They would play twilight golf together and on occasion the boys would get to tag along; which was good cause that meant they could stay up past their normal bedtime! When Ken and Jerry were old enough, they got their first set of plastic clubs, graduated to a junior set and once in their teens, had "real clubs". Dad was always ready to teach his sons the game. Dad and Ken played in a couple of Father/Son club tournaments and always had a blast whether they won or not, just enjoying the time together. As Ken got older it became about beating Dad and the competition was always keen, beating him didn't happen often. For many years Ken did have one up on him though as he had a hole in one playing with Dad and Grandfather! Dad was the only one without a hole in one for many years but he took the ribbing with a smile on his face. His turn finally came a few years later and he had his first hole in one! I'm sure he has already played a few rounds in heaven and is smiling his big smile as he rips another shot down the fairway! Another one of Bob's favorite things to do was attend Jeeptoberfest with his son Jerry and grandson Jacob. Grandpa loved riding along in the red Jeep on the off-road course. He would smile the whole time and wave to the spectators. When he was done offroading, Grandpa would sit in his chair by the fence and watch all the Jeeps drive by for hours. He even snuck in a nap or two. Services will be on October 13 at North Lake Presbyterian Church. Burial will be at the Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, FL. Beyers Funeral Home, The Villages, is in charge of arrangements.
