A Life Lived with a Smile.

Warren Zevon – Keep Me In Your Heart For A While

Bob Winovich (41) of Chagrin Falls was known and will be remembered as the dedicated father, committed brother and loyal friend. His bald head, blue eyes and great big smile were a daily sight in Chagrin Falls for most of his young life.

Bob’s first love was family and second love was listening to live music. Bob could be found anywhere live music was playing. He loved the House of Blues and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Bob Winovich and the Bright Side of the Road Foundation

Bob worked tirelessly with his Bright Side "family" to raise funding for ALS research.

Bob dedicated his last 5 years to finding a cure for ALS  when he co-founded “The Bright Side of the Road Foundation”. Following his brother Barry’s diagnosis with the disease, Bob was determined to make a real impact in the search for a cure. With his continual aid and support, the Bright Side of the Road Foundation has been able to donate over one million dollars to ALS research initiatives.
