Obituary : Hembel, Robert Webster, 87, in Land O'
Lakes, Florida. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert
(Bob) Webster Hembel on November 17, 2024. Bob was born August 25, 1937 in
Newark, Ohio to Daniel Webster and Alma Guze Hembel (both deceased). His
sister, Nancy, passed when she was 7 years old. He is also pre-deceased by his
brother, William.
Bob is survived by his loving and caring wife,
Lucille Marie Hembel (nee Asselin), sons Michael Webster (Da) Hembel, Stephen
Mark Hembel, John Ralph Hembel, daughter Catherine Lee Hebel Bain Kress,
grandchildren James Bain, Andrew Bain, and Kyra Kress, brothers-in-law Andre
(Jane) Asselin, Arthur (Lisa) Asselin, Steven Carpenter, sisters-in-law Lillian
(Dave) Cucuzza, Lorraine (Stephen) Snipper, Susan Asselin, as well as many
beloved nieces and nephews.
Bob was a loving and devoted husband to Lucille
for over 49 years. They met while he worked as a Captain and she as a flight
attendant for Delta Airlines, his career spanned a total of 31 years, including
being the pilot for the Governor of South Carolina before joining Delta. Bob
was passionate about life, working, flying, sailing, skiing, golfing, trout
fishing, hunting, traveling, Colorado, country, patriotism, and spending time
with his wife, family, and friends. To know Bob (and his corny
"Chirpies" joke) was to love him. His family and friends take great
comfort in knowing that he is now reunited in heaven with his parents,
siblings, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
A Celebration of Life will be held on January 18,
2025 at Myrtle Lake Baptist Church, 2017 Reigler Rd, Land O Lakes, FL 34639 to
