Accountant had Love of Numbers, Church, Toledo
Frank L. Rohr, an accountant, a leader in his church and the Knights of Columbus, and a raconteur, died of cancer yesterday- in his West Toledo home. He was 85.He had been ill for two months, his wife, Mary Rose, said. Mr. Rohr retired in 1982 as an examiner in the state auditor's office. He conducted audits of towns and townships throughout northwest Ohio. He was controller for several years of the former Pemberton Cadillac and was treasurer of the former Shaw-Kendall Engineering Co. from 1949 until the firm closed in the early 1960s. "He just liked working with numbers and making sure they all added up," his daughter, Joyce Irwin, said. Mr. Rohr was an accountant at home too. "I was a paperboy, and he taught me accounting at an early age," his son, John, said. "Some people paid by the month; some by the week. He taught me, 'Don't spend that money from the people who pay by the month."'. His memory was sharp and he was always ready with a story about his life and hometown. "He could tell you stories about Toledo you wouldn't believe, and he did," his wife said. "His mother was a storyteller, and he had the gift of being able to tell stories." He would tell of his grandfather's downtown shoe store, of soldiers marching down Summit Street going off to World War I, of Toledo Mud Hens games at Swayne Field. He was in the Army Air Corps service command during World War II, stationed in Sicily and North Africa. He lived for a time in, Chicago and took accounting courses at Babson College, Boston. "But he was always drawn back by his love of Toledo," his daughter said. Mr. Rohr was an 18-year member of St. Clement Church, leading Saturday evening recitations of the Rosary. He was a member for 32years of St. Catherine, serving on the parish council and as an usher. "His faith was very important to him," his wife said. Mr. Rohr, a fourth-degree Knight of Columbus, was a former grand knight of West Toledo Council 3122,and a former district deputy, area assistant and financial secretary. "I learned from Dad you have to give back," his son said. "He was a leader in the Knights of Columbus. He led the Rosary. Those were ways he could give back to the community that served him." Mr. Rohr grew up in South Toledo and was a graduate of Libbey High School. He attended the University of Toledo. "He was a quick wit. He was quick with a pun," his son said. "He had the greatest sense of humor of anybody I know." His wife said: "He was the life of the party a lot of times." Surviving are his wife, Mary Rose; son, John; daughters, Jean Brose and Joyce Irwin, and nine grandchildren. The body will be in the J. Jeffrey Fretti Mortuary after 2 p.m. tomorrow, with a, recitation of the Rosary by the Knights of Columbus at' 7p.m., followed by a fourth degree Knights of Columbus service. Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Monday in St. Clement. The family requests tributes to the Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg Township.

JIMMY ROHR / Longtime Band Leader Served Union
Jimmy Rohr, a longtime dance bandleader and former business agent for the musicians' union, died yesterday in Foundation Park Care Center. He was 76. Mr. Rohr, of South Toledo, had been in declining health since he broke a hip late last year. Until five years ago, Mr. Rohr and his group played private parties and weddings each weekend. "For years and years, he played at the Toledo Club on Saturday night," his son, Jeffrey, said. Jimmy Rohr's Orchestra earlier had played at Luna Pier, the Trianon Ballroom, Paramount Theater, Forest Park in Ottawa County, and Centennial Terrace. "I can remember a lot of high school proms with Jimmy," said orchestra leader Johnny Knorr, who played saxophone and clarinet with the Rohr group in the1950s. "He had a good rapport with us musicians." For about 25 years, beginning in the mid-1960s, Mr. Rohr was business agent for the Toledo Federation of Musicians. Two of his duties were to collect dues from out-of-town musicians playing in Toledo and to make sure union and non-union musicians didn't play together, Mr. Knorr said. "It's not a pleasant job by any means," Mr. Knorr said. "But he had a job to do. He handled it quite well. I never saw him get upset." In the job, he met many traveling musicians, including such rock stars as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin - an experience his children found more thrilling than he did, his son said. Also surviving are his wife, Marjorie; sons, James and Jay; daughters, Janet Schultz, Julie Keefer, and Joan Loucks; brother, Frank; 10 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. The body will be in the Coyle Mortuary, South Reynolds Road, after 2 p.m. tomorrow. Services will be at 11 a.m. Friday in Gesu Church, where Mr. Rohr was a member. The family requests tributes to the Alzheimer's Association.
