Robert "Bob" K. Droke

Robert "Bob" K. Droke, age 67, a lifelong resident of Kingsport, TN, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2024, in the same town where he was born on September 11, 1956. He was known as a hard-working man with a friendly spirit.

Bob received his degree from Tri-Cities Tech. He dedicated many fruitful years of service to McLain Heating & Cooling before his retirement, where his hard work and dedication left a lasting impact.
