Bobby was born in Columbus, Ohio and was one of six siblings-Billy, Becky, Brenda, Brian, and Bruce. He grew up on the west side of Columbus and went graduated from West High School. As a young man he was an avid concert enthusiast and loved to have a good time. He kept a record of the 600 and some odd concerts he attended with his good friends Doug, Stacey and others. In Bob’s early twenties, he was introduced to construction work with his brother-in-law, David Frebault and found he had a knack for masonry. He soon created his own business and founded Bob Binns Masonry, where he built beautiful homes with stone specifically. He was very well known in Columbus for his professionalism and artwork like creations of stonework. He was even sectioned in a piece in the Columbus Dispatch for his craftsmanship barring a picture of him cutting stone with his 10-pound hammer. Bob later married Cheryl Binns and purchased a home with her and her son, Scott Binns and later had a son of his own, Benjamin Binns. Bob was a history buff and loved reading. He took great pleasure in knowing about humanity’s history and our evolution. Bob loved camping, fishing and being outdoors. He enjoyed going to the Ohio Power camping grounds. Early in his life, Bob and his brothers would go camping at Ohio Power together. The brothers passed down the tradition to each generation and this became a staple for all the Binns boys growing up. All Binns boys were lucky to share this family experience and the joy of camping together, where many memories were created. Bob was an avid sports fan from a young age into adulthood. Although he loved all sports, his passion was football for the Browns and Buckeyes. His passion for the Browns was special because he shared it with his brother Brian and passed it down to his son Ben and his brother Scott. That passion for the Browns turned into a lifelong bond he could share with his brother and son. They would get together for every Browns game for the past 20 years which Bob shared with his brother for even longer. Bob was an incredible and loving father. Anyone who knew Bob would tell you that he was the kindest, patient, and easy-going person. Everyone who knew Bob loved Bob. His intellect, integrity, and loving nature touched everyone and were passed on to each person he developed a relationship with. Bob will be truly missed and always loved and thought of fondly. Day Funeral Service is honored to serve the family of Bob Binns.
