Editor's Note: It is hard to post this without mentioning what a fine man Don Roble was. I knew him personally for more than 25 years. In the pressure-packed business of automotive sales, Don always kept his cool and treated everyone with dignity and respect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROBLE DONALD BENJAMIN JR. Age 62 of Farmington Hills. Don's love for his wife, daughters, grandchildren, extended family, friends, and community was insurmountable.
As a young man all Don ever wanted was to have a family—God gave him five amazing daughters. Don's service in the Farmington Hills community included his involvement in Big Brother, Birmingham-Bloomfield Jaycees, the Chamber of Commerce, youth sports, the Farmington Hills Senior Golf League, and most recently, driving the Farmington Hills Senior Transportation bus.
He was a proud North Farmington High School Raider and University of Michigan Wolverine. Don also found fulfillment as a successful ThyssenKrupp Budd executive in the automotive industry for 36 years.
Don is the beloved husband of Carol. Loving father of Julie (Byron) Flint, Amy (fiancé Nicholas Rouech), Susan, Lindsay (fiancé Adam Lawrie), and Carrie. Dear grandpa ("Gup") to Logan and Teagan Flint. Don is also treasured by his sisters Jane Northway and Susan Blain as well as many nieces and nephews.
