Robert Crume McGinnis, 64, of Avon, passed away September 28, 2014. He was born September 25, 1950 to the late Thomas and Carolyn (Hurst) McGinnis in Bardstown, KY.

How can you possibly sum up such a great man's life! He was a kilted warrior, husband, dad, son, brother, cousin, friend, and grandpa. Bob was the most universally loved and respected person we all knew. He always set a great example of how to be a great father, husband and all around good guy. He stood strong in the face of ALS by continuing to be the same great person he always had been and living life to the fullest. Enjoying the time that we have and maintaining a positive outlook on life are some of the greatest traits that he showed us all. We are all better to have known him. Stay Strong and Carry On. Visitation will be from 4:00 to 8:00 pm on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 in the Hampton-Gentry Funeral Home, Plainfield. Graveside services will be at 10:00 am on Saturday, October 18, 2014 in the St. Joseph Cemetery, Bardstown, KY. Memorial contributions may be made to Bob McGinnis of the Kilted Warriors (google ALS Kilted Warriors).
