Newport's Albert Robish, devoted father, plumber
Albert Louis Robisch only had one child, but many neighborhood children and local high school students regarded him as a father figure.
"Even when I was in high school, all the kids came to my house to talk," said his son, Chris Robisch of Southgate.
"They just had a good time sitting around with him. It was like another family. They'd come in and go to the refrigerator and grab a soft drink. And if they didn't have any money to go out, they'd ask if they could come over."
Mr. Robisch, 81, of Newport, died at 7:56 a.m. Thursday at Baptist Convalescent Center in Newport.
The retired plumber grew up in Covington and graduated from Holmes High School. He served in the Army during World War II and was stationed in Germany.

He also worked to establish the Riddleview Civic Club, a neighborhood park in Newport.
"He was a very good influence," Chris Robisch said.
"All the kids looked up to him. . .We just had a drum corp reunion three weeks ago. They were excited I brought him to see them."
Mr. Robisch was the past commander of the John R. Little VFW Post No. 3186. He was a member of the Monsignor Lehr Council Knights of Columbus, St. Therese Holy Name Society and Over 55 Club and the United Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local No. 59.
