Bob Saner 'could fix anything'
Robert "Bob" Saner fought leukemia for five months with a mixture of determination and unfailing hope. He died at 6:24 p.m. Thursday at Jewish Hospital. He was 54.
"He was so positive. He fought a battle and he fought to the last, " said his mother, Betty Saner.
He and his wife, Debbie, had planned to help other families deal with the maze of medical decisions that accompany the disease.
Mr. Saner, of Hebron, was a software engineer for ADP in Florence.
He was an accomplished home carpenter and helped renovate his daughter's and son-in-law's home.
"He could do anything. He could fix anything, " his mother said. "He used to visit me once a week and he'd kid me, 'Have you got my little list ready'? "
He was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Hebron, and a former member of Corpus Christi Church in Newport.
During church festivals and bingos, Bob Saner was out among the crowd, selling bingo cards and tickets and making people laugh, his mother said.
He and his wife celebrated their 29th anniversary last Sunday.
Throughout his illness, his family and friends rallied to his side. His sister, Mary Ann Reinersman, became a bone marrow donor in hopes of checking the disease. Friends and co-workers will hold a marathon in his memory in June, as a fund raiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
