It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that Bright Side of the Road founding member Bob Winovich passed away peacefully in his sleep on early Sunday morning, July 18th.

Since his brother Barry’s diagnosis with ALS five years ago, Bob has dedicated himself selflessly to raising funds for ALS research. As one of the Bright Side of the Road Foundation’s founding members, Bob has been instrumental in raising over one million dollars in funding while spreading the Bright Side message across the United States.

From a personal standpoint, we cannot express how deeply we feel the loss of this special man. Bob has always been a positive and uplifting presence in his hometown. His bald head, blue eyes, smile and positive vibrations were felt by all that knew him

Visitation will be held at Stroud-Lawrence Funeral Home in Chagrin Falls on Thursday, July 22nd, from 1pm-3pm and 5pm-8pm.

Bob will be buried next to his daughter Hannah at Evergreen Cemetery on Friday, July 23rd, following a 12:30 service at Holy Angels in Bainbridge, Ohio.

In lieu of flowers, your donations to the Bob Winovich Memorial Fund are very appreciated and will be appropriately used for family expenses. Find out more the fund and Bob’s life of smiles at:

Thank you for your continued friendship, thoughts and support.

When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun,
Keep me in your heart for a while.
