Robert Lee LeCompte May 22, 1928 - September 20, 2022

Robert Lee LeCompte, 94, died at his residence in the Cincinnati, OH area on September 20, 2022. Bob lived a full and rich life enjoying his hobbies, cherishing his family, and humbly following his faith.

Bob dedicated his entire life to the service of others. A Butler University graduate, Bob chose the field of pharmacy as his career. He served our country first as a pharmacist's mate in the US Naval Reserve in the Korean War. Later he headed pharmacies in major drug stores and worked in private pharmaceutical practices.

Bob loved the competition of athletics. He enjoyed sailing dinghies or maneuvering pontoon boats. He cheered on the Butler Bulldogs and the local Cincinnati sports teams. But most often he could be found on the tennis court. An avid player, Bob won many competitive titles through the years, including a gold medal in the Senior Olympics.

Bob was a committed Christian and served his church in different capacities over the years, including several as an elder. The elder is to be "of good report" and Bob certainly filled that requirement well. People who knew could be heard describing him as genuine, kind, loving, a true gentleman, and a treasure of a human being.

Bob was preceded in death by his mother and father, sister and brother, his beloved wife of 62 years, Joyce (nee Dehnbostel) LeCompte, and his grandson, Dean LeCompte.

Those remaining will miss his kind words and gentle spirit. They include his sister-in-law, Nancy Dehnbostel; his adult children Elizabeth (Tom) May, Leigh Anne (Tom) Webb, David (Leia) LeCompte, and Scott (Nancy) LeCompte; his grandchildren Sarah Moreton, Stephanie Moreton, Rob May, Rachel May, Jennifer (Nick) Thomas, Scott (Emily) Burke, Katie Burke (her partner Skipp), Tessa (Skyler) Vittitoe, Brianna LeCompte (her partner Stephen), Zachary LeCompte, and Chris LeCompte. Bob also adored the 11 great-grandchildren he leaves behind.

Visitation is from 10:00 am until 11:00 am, on  Monday, September 26, 2022, at the Christ Lutheran Church, 3301 Compton Road, Cincinnati  (45251).   The funeral service will immediately follow the visitation beginning at 11:00 am.

Interment will follow at 2:30 p.m., at  McCray Cemetery, 7500 North Indiana 109, Wilkinson, Indiana 46186.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be given to Berkely Square Retirement Village in Hamilton, OH, Bob's devoted and compassionate caregivers during his final months of life.
