Robert was born on July 17, 1923 in St. Cloud, MN to Nicholas and Aloysia (Blonigan) Mohs. He served in the US Army Air Corps during WW II. He married Lorraine C.

He was a member of St. Anthony's parish, Knights of Columbus Council 961 and VFW Post 4847. Bob knew no strangers. He was a friend and talker to everyone. A city firefighter for 38 years, he was a tireless worker and faithful friend to so many. His encounter with Padre Pio, while serving in the Armed Forces in Italy, impacted his faith and life forever. As painter, handyman, husband, father, grandfather, and AA member, Bob walked in the steps of service and humility. Bob was faithful in his attendance at daily mass and his commitment to the Chapel of Adoration. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, his intense pride in and support of his children, his story telling and his animated reading out loud to his children and grandchildren. His family is grateful that Bob now is with Jesus.
Survivors include his wife "sweet" Lorraine of 56 years, children: Mary (friend Valarie) Levilain of Coweta, OK, Margaret (Gabriel) Brennan of Helena, MT, Clare Mohs of Damariscotta, ME, Thomas (Laury) of Sidney, NE, Edward of Stafford, VA, Jane Anderson (Darrell) of St. Cloud, William (Kyong) of Beaver Creek, OH, Ann Mohs of St. Cloud, John of Houston, TX, Jennifer Roberts (Greg) of St. Cloud, Michael (Dawn) of Plymouth; 20 grandchildren; sisters and brother: Eileen Truzinski of Waite Park, Donna Murray of International Falls, Rosie Ratliff of White Lake, MI, Phyllis Schmidtbauer of St. Cloud, Katie Tonnell of Sauk Rapids, and John of TN.
