Robert James Studeny passed away Monday, Nov. 28, 2011, a day before his 84th birthday.

He was the son of James and Bertha Studeny of Shaker Heights.

Bob served in the United States Army during World War II.

He then moved to Ashland in 1956 with his wife of 60 years, Dorothy (née Koogle) Studeny, when they purchased Overynder Florist, which became Ashland Florist. They ran the florist business successfully for 38 years. Bob was involved in many civic organizations, including Rotary and the library board.

In keeping with his wishes, Bob will be cremated. A memorial service will take place at a later date.
