Robert O’Briant, a Navy veteran of the Korean War who served on the USS Swenson, passed peacefully at the age of 79.

Bob loved cats and all nature. He was a very loving, gentle and giving soul, who at Easter time would be the bunny and give baskets to the children.

He is survived by his wife, Claudia; children, Shannon and Robbie; step-son, Rod; two grandchildren; and, brother Bill.

Bob is with our Lord in Heaven.

Military honors will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, at Lakeport’s Library Park on Park Street.
