Robert "Bob" Thurlow passed away March 30, 2020, at age 74. His beloved wife, Marjorie "Margie" Thurlow passed away February 3, 2022, at age 73.  As Bob's wake in 2020 was put off due to Covid, a combination Celebration of Life Memorial service and Memorial Gathering is planned on their wedding anniversary, Tuesday June 7 ^th from 5-7 PM, with the service starting at 5:30pm, at Baldwin Brothers New Smyrna Beach, 1 N Causeway, New Smyrna Beach, FL 32169.

Bob graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1967 with honors. He married his soulmate Margie, and they had a lifetime of love and adventure, travelling many times across the USA and spending much time stationed in Hawaii.  Bob deployed to Vietnam twice and retired from the Navy after 20 years of service.  He then earned his law degree at the University of Kansas. The devoted couple moved to New Smyrna Beach Florida in 1991 and became a hometown fixture. He opened his practice on Canal Street in NSB, and with Margie working by his side, they served the community for 25 years.

Always generous and honorable, the couple had a keen sense of duty and ethics. Bob served as president of the Southeast Volusia County Chamber of Commerce and the New Smyrna Beach Kiwanis Club. He was Chairman of the New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission. Both loved animals, especially dogs. They were inseparable from each other and their springer spaniels. Family and friends were always uplifted by Bob's sharp wit and comforted by Margie's sincere kindness.  They complemented each other perfectly and made everyone feel special.
