Robert (Bob) Lester Iroler, 89, of Fries, VA, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, June 12, 2020. Bob was born in Carroll County on February 13, 1931, to Charles and Maude Bowman Iroler.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 37 years, Peggy Ann Carrico Iroler, twin brother Jim Iroler, sister Irene Iroler Horton, brothers Ken Iroler, Bill Iroler, Sonny Iroler and Frankie Iroler.

Survivors include his wife of 25 years, Gaye Lineberry Anders Iroler, son and daughter-in-law Tony and Suzanne Iroler of Fries, daughter and son-in-law Lora Ann Iroler-Williams and Doug Williams of Galax, brother and sister-in-law Rod and Alease Iroler of Hillsville, sister Peggy Joan Iroler Thomas of Richmond, VA, 4 grandchildren - Melanie Dowell, Anthony Iroler, Ben Williams, and Maggie Williams, 2 great grandsons- Will and Jacob, numerous special nieces, nephews, and friends.

Bob honorably served 2 years in the U.S. Marine Corp aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Bennington during the Korean War. He was a loving son, brother, husband, father, papa, uncle, and friend. Everyone that knew him knows he was a man's man - honest, loving, hardworking, generous, strong, and tough as whet leather. As a child of the Great Depression, he learned how to stretch a dollar and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. He loved cutting wood, gardening, and fishing with his son, telling stories, giving advice (especially medical), and spending time with family and friends. He was and always will be a "Superman "and our hero.

A graveside service with burial will be held Sunday, June 14, 2020 at 2:00 PM at McKenzie Cemetery with Marvin Williams officiating.  The family will receive friends from 1:00 PM until time for the service at the cemetery.

Military rites will be conducted by Grayson VFW Post 7726.
