Robert Lee “Bob” Brasch, Sr., 78, a long-time resident of Pensacola, passed away unexpectedly on September 23, 2016. He was born the youngest of three children to Mr. and Mrs. Charles and Ida Brasch on January 15, 1938, in Watertown, Wisconsin.

He graduated from Spencerian College in June of 1961 with a Bachelor of Business Administration, majoring in Accounting. He was a member of Phi Theta Pi Alpha Kappa Fraternity.

In Oct 24, 1961, Bob married the love of his life, Patricia “Pat”; it was love at first sight. The following year, they started their amusement business, Triple R.

In 1974, they expanded their business along the Gulf Coast with Emerald Coast Amusements, playing St. Anne’s Roundup, Elberta Sausage Festival, Atmore May Fest, and Pensacola Seafood Festival. He semi-retired in 2009. He never met a stranger and he always left them smiling.

Bob is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Pat; sons, Robert L. Brasch, Jr. and Randy C. (Lisa) Brasch, Sr.; five grandchildren, Randy C.
