Robert Hiple, 67, died July 2, 2013 at his home in Port St. Lucie, FL.

He was born in Canton, Ohio and lived in St. Lucie County for 62 years, coming from his birthplace.

Robert graduated from Dan McCarty High School, Class of 1964, and spent two years serving in the US Army, stationed in Germany. He received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Florida Atlantic University.

In addition, after his retirement, he worked as a part-time facilitator in the GED program at IRSC.

Bob was an avid tennis player and could always be seen on the courts in his spare time. These courts are where he met his wife Renee. He was a member of the Twin Oaks Tennis Club and the Elks Club. Other passions include football, a serious fan of the Miami Dolphins and the Florida Gators, fishing, a hobby when he could spent time relaxing with his family, travel, dancing and reading.
