Robert M. Reno, 83, of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., also known as Bob Reno, passed away peacefully November 14, 2014, at War Memorial Hospital, surrounded by his family.
He was born January 2, 1931 in Raco, Mich. of Superior Township, to Morris Reno and Mae (Fair) Reno. Bob served in the US Navy from 1948-1950 working with airplanes and helicopters.
Bob then made his career as a professional painter with the Allied Painters Trade. A member of Local 1418 - Sault Ste. Marie and retiring from the Painters Local 1662, Traverse City, Mich. He had painted on the Mackinac Bridge, International Bridge, Edison Power Plant, Chippewa County Court House, schools and so many others. Also a member of the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
Bob had a love for the outdoors. Spending time hunting, fishing, family picnics and gathering. If it was outside, that's where he would be. He will always be remembered for his annual hobo dinner and unique smoked whitefish and salmon. Most of all, Bob truly had a big heart and was a man of his word....ruff...tough....and true. No one ever had to guess how he felt....you just knew! His expressions, unmistakable laugh and sky blue eyes said it all.
