Robert C. “Bob” Barnhart
Age 73, passed away November 11, 2020, after a long battle with FTD/PPA. Bob was born April 22, 1947, in Lansing, MI, to Francis and Lucille Barnhart.
Bob was the owner/operator of Barnhart Roofing for 40+ years. He proudly served in the army from 1966-1968 and received his bachelor’s degree from MSU. He was humble, introspective, and had a quiet heart and soul. He enjoyed riding his Harley any chance he could. He will be deeply missed.
Surviving are his wife of 30 years, Laura (Webb); son, Blake; brother, Richard; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, James; and sister, Judy Barnhart.
Thank you to Dr. James LaBerge and his compassionate staff at Hospice of Lansing – Stoneleigh Residence.

November 25, 2020 at 11:17 amTo Bob’s family ~ Please accept my condolences on your loss. I knew Bob through my dealing with him as a roofer. He was a consummate professional, and the best roofer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I will remember him with fondness, and refer to his work with the greatest respect and admiration.
With sincere regards and sympathy,
