Dr. Robert William Bohl, 91, died peacefully, listening to classical music on his beloved WOSU FM 101.1 on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012 at his home.
He was born Oct. 4, 1920 in Hillsboro, the son of the late Dr. Jesse C. and Nan (Moore) Bohl.
Bob graduated from Hillsboro High School, Denison University and The Ohio State University, where he received his medical degree in 1945.
