Robert London, known lovingly as Bob, passed peacefully on January 29, 2022.

He was born on March 4, 1947 in Detroit, Michigan, but he called Clifton Forge home for nearly 40 years.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde and Doris London.

He is survived by his three children: son, Brendan London and wife, Leslie London of Charlotte, NC, daughter, Sarah Polasik and husband, Brad Polasik of Wake Forest, NC, and daughter, Meredith Thompson and husband, Allen Thompson of Troutville, VA. He is survived by his six grandchildren, Amelia and Emma London, Cody and Abby Polasik, and Graham and Liam Thompson. He is survived by his dear friend, Maryanne Solan; his brother, Jim London, and wife, Donna; sister, Barbara Lane and husband, John, and sister, Marilyn Crowther and husband, Dave. His family includes numerous nieces and nephews, whom he loved dearly.

Bob is remembered fondly for his kind heart, sense of humor, and intellect. His children remember him for his creativity and ability to make them laugh with witty punchlines. Bob knew something on just about everything but was humble in sharing his wisdom.

He devoted over 30 years of service to Dabney S. Lancaster Community College in Clifton Forge.

A special thank you to the kind staff of the Brian Center – Alleghany in Low Moor.
