       Robert Edward (Cline) Edington, born April 3, 1932, passed away in the early morning hours of the 5th of November at his home In Woodsfield. The son of Bessie (Byers) and Boyd Cline, he was born in Mechanicsburg, Ohio and, as an infant, moved to Wewoka, Oklahoma. Following the sudden death of this father, five-year old Bob and his mother returned to Monroe County. He attended first and second grade in Brownsville and, in 1941, moved to Canton, Ohio. In 1944, his family returned to Monroe County where he graduated from Woodsfield High School in 1950. Following graduation, Bob travelled to Cleveland to attend Finn College.

       In March, 1952, Bob enlisted in the United States Air Force where he eventually obtained the rank of Staff Sergeant. As a GS 7 instructor in jets and technical mechanics, he taught military personnel from France, Japan, Korea, Spain, and the U.S.A.

       On July 11, 1953, Bob married Esther Lucille Jeffers and they began their long and loving life together in Amarillo, Texas.

       In November, 1957, Bob began his career with Ormet Corporation in Hannibal, Ohio as an instrument repairman. In 1968, he established Ormet’s first training program for electricians. Bob spent more than a decade in industrial relations and personnel where one of his greatest joys was finding employment opportunities for hundreds of Upper Ohio Valley residents. He retired from Ormet in 1995.

       Another great joy for Bob was his fraternal memberships and community involvement. He joined the Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of Ohio in 1964, obtained his 32nd degree in 1976 and joined the Scottish Rite in 1991. In 1973, Bob was Master for Monroe Lodge #189 F&AM and from 1977 to 1979, he served as District Deputy Grand Master for the 18th Masonic District. His selfless role during the Lodge fire in 1974 saved many valuable freemason artifacts. And as a member of Osiris Shrine Temple, he often provided transportation to little patients and their families to the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Cincinnati (for burn care) and Erie (for orthopedics)

       As a member of the First United Methodist Church in Woodsfield, Bob, along with Esther, taught Sunday school and he was Lay Leader and a member of the Pastor-Parish Relations committee. For many years, Bob was an officer and Board member of the Ormet (Ohio Valley Community) Credit Union and he and Esther enjoyed developing local youth through their 4-H club.

       Besides his parents, Bob is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, William and Anna Cline, and his maternal grandparents, George and Molly Byers. He is survived by members of his loving family including his wife Esther, daughter Kristina Marie, son Robert Lyle, daughter-in-law Dori, and three grandsons, Kyle Christopher, Travis Christian who is married to Sarah Ginty and Jacob Tyler.

       A private funeral service will be held at Bauer-Turner Funeral Home in Woodsfield on November 9 and Bob will be laid to rest in the Oaklawn Cemetery. The family requests that those interested in making memorial donations consider the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
