Robert "Bob" Light, 77 of Connersville went home to be with the Lord on Monday, March 17, 2025, while surrounded by his loving family. He was born on July 25, 1947, in Linton, Indiana to the late Clarence Light and Sara (Rhoades) Light.

Bob served in the United States Army in active duty for 2 years before going into the reserves for another 4 years.

Bob married the love of his life, Regina Abner, on February 13, 1970, in Connersville.

Bob was formally a member of Baptist Temple in Connersville.

Bob was a member of the American Legion and served as a Gideon for many years. He also served in the jail ministry for serval years.

Bob worked for GTE Verizon for 34 years, before starting his own business called Universal Communications with his business partner, Ron Anderson. Universal Communications served businesses in Fayette County and many surrounding counties with their telephone services. Without Bob most of your small businesses would be without a telephone service, he was always the one to be called when they couldn't get a call to go through.

Bob loved serving the Lord and reading his Bible. You could often find him on his back deck at home. Bob was a family man and found joy in spending time with his family and friends.

Along with his wife of 55 years, Regina Light; he is survived by his sons, Jeff (Michelle) Light and Tristan Light; his grandchildren, Colton (Taylor) Gonzalez, Dalton (Katelyn) Light and Dallas (Lesly) Langley; his great grandson, C.J.
