Bob played on several softball, bowling, and golf leagues throughout his lifetime. His hobbies included watching his Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers and spending time with his family, who he loved dearly. He also enjoyed attending the high school football games of the Struthers Wildcats and cherished his family beach vacations and cruises. Bob was a devoted member of the Faith Community Covenant Church in Youngstown, where he was as an usher for several years and served roles on a variety of committees. He never missed a Sunday service.

Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Eleanor (Fecko), whom he married April 22, 1957. Together they shared their love and laughter for nearly 60 years. Together they had four children, Bob (Kathy) Osiniak of Melbourne, FL., Randy (Andrea) Osiniak of Boardman, Ron (Lisa) Osiniak of Campbell, and Cheryl (Tim) Roddy of Struthers. Left to treasure his memories are his grandchildren, to whom were his world; Tim Roddy and Allie Roddy, Kristen Osiniak and Matt (Abby) Osiniak, Ryan Osiniak, and Carli Osiniak. He also leaves many special nieces, nephews, and cousins, all of whom he adored as well as many lifelong friends.
