ROBERT WALTON McDOUGAL's Obituary
MCDOUGAL, Robert Walton 61, loving brother and friend.
Passed away unexpectedly on June 3, 2014. Bob was born in Philadelphia, PA and moved to Miami with his family at the age of 9. He grew up in the Coconut Grove area and embraced the warm South Florida lifestyle of the 1960’s. As a youth Bob was a virtual fixture at the Southwest Boy’s Club where he excelled at sports and initiated friendships that lasted a lifetime. Bob was an eclectic and creative soul with numerous interests that included being an avid student of history, Wah Lum Kung Fu, Yang Tai Chi, gardening and most importantly, a wonderful human being. His intricate involvement in the cause of energy conservation was well known among his friends and peers. Bob’s passion for sports was ultimately expressed in his life long devotion to the Chicago White Sox baseball team as well as the Miami Hurricanes, Dolphins, and Marlins. This amplified interest in sports also included being a member of the Coral Gables High School National Championship football teams of 1967, 68, and 69. Bob was retired from Bell South after 33 years of exemplary service. He was honorably discharged from the USNR after serving 6 years and this always remained a constant source of pride and accomplishment as evidenced by his unique collection of Navy memorabilia. In life Bob’s loving essence and spiritual nature were only surpassed by his kindness and compassion. He subscribed to the religion of peace and good will and his memory will be forever missed by those of us who were blessed to know him and love him. He is predeceased in death by his brother Paul, mother Helen, father Walton and survived by sister in law Roberta, step daughters Michelle Lance, Stacey Ingram Davis, loving step mother Jean and countless friends.

A Memorial Service is planned in the near future and notice will be posted on facebook for all concerned.
