John Gary Loeb

November 30, 1948 - August 27, 2015

LOEB John Gary John Gary Loeb, 66 of Toledo, Ohio passed away suddenly on August 27, 2015. He was born to Charles (Boots) and Mildred Loeb on November 30,1948. John, youngest of 4 boys, graduated from Thomas A. DeVilbiss high school in 1966. John proudly served his country in the U.S Army completing his tour of duty in Vietnam in 1971. After returning home, John worked for the U.S. Postal Service but felt his true calling was to run his own company. Thus began John Loeb Painting, which he ran successfully for nearly 40 years, retiring in 2014. John took tremendous pride in his work and his attention to detail showed in the thousands of customer’s homes he painted through the years. He rarely advertised, rather he insisted a job well done would earn him referrals and as much work as he could handle. His “customer man” approach, coupled with his strong work ethic, proved quite successful. After retiring, he fulfilled a longtime dream to drive across the United States while visiting members of his Charlie company military unit, along with friends and family. He also volunteered his time generously to the VA Outpatient Clinic and Mobile Meals of Toledo. John was a beloved son, brother, uncle, great-uncle and friend to all who knew him. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brothers, Bill and Bob. Left to cherish his memory is his brother Jim (Donna), sisters-in-law Mary and Lana along with 4 nephews, 1 niece, 9 great nieces and 1 great nephew. The family will receive guests on Wednesday September 2nd, from 11-2 at Ansberg-West Funeral Home where a brief memorial service will begin at 2:00 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the VA Outpatient Clinic or to Mobile Meals of Toledo.
