Robert Jerome Dyer, 88, beloved husband, father, uncle and friend to many, passed away Friday, September 4, 2020 at his home after a full and wonderful life.
Bob was born November 12, 1931 in Pittsburgh, PA to James and Monica Dyer. Bob graduated from Notre Dame University in 1952 and after serving in the United States Marine Corps returned to Steubenville, OH in 1954. Bob joined his father and was President of Kaul Clay Company for over 20 years. In 1982, Bob changed careers and became a financial advisor and eventually managed the regional office for Hilliard Lyons.
Bob retired in 2005 and moved to the Country Club of North Carolina. Bob and his wife of 64 years, Jane, truly enjoyed their lives at CCNC and gained a new family of friends over the next 15 years. Bob had an incredible zest for life and was considered a friend to all that had the pleasure to meet him. Mr. Dyer was a man of deep religious convictions and his faith carried him through his final battle with a glioblastoma brain tumor.

He is survived by his sons, Ken Dyer (Dale) of Columbia, SC, Brian Dyer of Steubenville, OH, grandson, James Dyer of Huntington, WV, nephews, James Padden (Karen) of Steubenville, OH, Bill Padden (Carol) and Dan Padden (Lynn) both from Cambridge, OH, and James Garvey of London, UK, and a sister-in-law Judy Garvey of Weirton, WV.
