Robert Wood, restaurant owner
Robert E. Wood operated restaurants in Fort Thomas and Newport for many years.
But he may have been just as well-known for his love of classic '50s cars, said his stepdaughter, Lisa Masters of Fort Thomas.
"He especially liked '55 and '57 Thunderbirds. I guess they reminded him of growing up, " Ms. Masters said. "He would buy them and restore them and we drove them all over the place."
Mr. Wood, 63, of Fort Thomas, died Wednesday at Community General Osteopathic Hospital in Harrisburg, Pa.
He was the former owner of Summit Lodge restaurant in Fort Thomas and The Lodge restaurant in Newport.
Both restaurants have since closed, Ms. Masters said, but she remembers them being open from the time she was a child.
Mr. Wood grew up in Fort Thomas, Ms. Masters said.
"He always had a story to tell. He could talk up a streak, " Ms. Masters said. "He was well-known about town.
He was a good family man."
