Robert Hermann

Robert "Bobby" Joseph Hermann, 80, of Lake Charles, passed away on March 13, 2025. Born and raised in Lake Charles, Bobby was truly the life of the party. Wherever he went, he was sure to be seen and heard.

Bobby loved spending time at the casinos, earning himself the nickname "The Godfather" among his friends. It was at Delta Downs that he met the love of his life, Kathy. They were inseparable and shared 40 wonderful years together.

Proud of his Italian heritage, Bobby carried his roots with great pride. He enjoyed watching old Westerns, relaxing with family, and making every gathering one to remember. His big personality and even bigger heart made him unforgettable to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

He was a graduate of Lake Charles High and Sowela Technical Community College. Bobby served six years in the United States Navy as an E-4 Petty Officer. He went on to work various jobs such as with Sunbeam Bakery, Miller Lite Company, and for more than 30 years with Kenny Fuselier & Company.

Bobby is survived by his beloved wife, Kathy Hermann; his four daughters, Marla Baldwin (Michael), Lindsay Ravia, Robin Ducote (Sabra), and Kayla Fontenot (Danny); his grandchildren, Madison Baldwin, Mackinley Baldwin, Mari Claire Baldwin, Maci Baldwin, Morgan Ravia, Lillian Ravia, Maverick Ravia, Hailey Graves, and Penelope Fontenot; and his siblings, Sandra Johnson, Elizabeth Jackson, Anita Wheeler, and Edward Hermann.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Robert James Hermann and Marguerite Montalbano Hermann.

Bobby's larger-than-life presence, humor, and love for his family will never be forgotten. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
