Robert S. Mattox

Robert S. Mattox, 92, of Indianapolis, Indiana, passed on April 23, 2020

Robert was born on January 6, 1928 in Cincinnati Ohio to the Late Virgil and Irma (Straehley) Mattox. His family moved to Indianapolis shortly thereafter, and he was a graduate of Broad Ripple High School. Robert was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force from 1951-1955, and later worked as a service and installation technician for 35 years at G.V. Aikman Company before retiring in 1991. He was a member of the American Legion, Third Christian Church and later the Allisonville Christian Church. Robert loved to travel (especially to Gulf Shores), build model ships, and most of all enjoyed spending time with family and friends while enjoying a fine cigar along with a double gin on the rocks with a twist. He will be greatly missed by all.

Robert is preceded in death by his wives Florence, Pat and Elizabeth, an infant son Robert, sister Virginia Peasley, and a stepson, Bob Berling.

Robert is survived by his children: Scott I. (Mieko) Mattox, Daniel J. (Cindy) Mattox, and Constance B. Campbell; stepchildren: Richard Ernsting, Jean Ann (Bob) Gatz, Fredrick (Diana) Ernsting, Nancy (Ron) Packman, Peggy (Larry) Phelps, Cheryl (Paul) Rosen, Leslie (Julian) Duval, and Bill (Joyce) Berling; 20 grandchildren, 47 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great grand children.

Private services will be held, and Robert will be laid to rest at a future date at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio.
