Robert LaShier

Robert Andrew LaShier passed away quietly on March 6, 2025 in the presence of family and friends after a long battle.

Bob came into this world on June 20, 1961 with his twin brother James in tow in Medina, NY. Bob graduated from Perry Central High School in 1979, enjoyed playing hockey on the local ponds, and attended LaGrange Baptist Church, in Pavilion, NY during his high school years.

Immediately after school he joined the Army and served for 10 years, much of which was in Germany and Afghanistan. He decided to reenlist and joined the Navy serving another 19 years, culminating in the role of Chief Petty Officer marshalling aircraft on Carriers traveling around the world. After 29 years of service, Bob followed his passion for airplanes and got a job working for L3-logistics. While there, he took courses from Strayer University and earned Associate and Bachelor’s Degrees in Criminal Justice. After graduation, Bob applied his schooling in a series of jobs in public safety.
