Bob Whitney

Lexington, OH – The Lexington community is paying tribute to a cherished pillar, Bob Whitney, who passed away on January 1, 2024, at the age of 88. After dedicating nearly six decades of service to the Lexington Local Schools Board of Education, his longstanding commitment has set a state record—an impressive tenure that will be honored for years to come.

In keeping with her father’s spirit of service, Lore Whitney has been appointed to fill his seat on the school board. This decision reflects the belief in upholding the values that Bob Whitney embodied throughout his life: commitment to community and the unwavering support of education.

Bob Whitney’s journey was not limited to the realm of education; he was also renowned as a formidable defense attorney, practicing law even longer than his time on the school board. His legal expertise and his pursuit of justice were as much a part of his identity as his educational endeavors.

The community’s remembrance extends beyond accolades, as friends and colleagues reflect on Bob Whitney’s character—his integrity, compassion, and indomitable spirit. His obituary further paints the picture of a man deeply rooted in his hometown of Lexington, born to parents Mont C. and Phyllis M. Whitney.

As Lexington Local Schools receives applications to fill the now-vacant seat, one thing is clear: Bob Whitney’s shoes are large to fill. The outpouring of love and respect for him is a testament to the lives he touched and the indelible mark he has left on the community.

Lexington, and indeed all who knew him, will remember Bob Whitney not only for the years he gave but for the quality of his service and the depth of his commitment. His memory will serve as an inspiration for current and future board members and educators alike.
