WARSAW — Long-time Warsaw Rotary Club member Robert “Bob” Gast recently delivered Mobile Meals along with fellow Rotarian John R. Hall.

Gast turned 100 in 2022 and continues to attend weekly meetings of the club and participates in projects. In the early 1970s, he and his late wife, Marge, were instrumental in the development of Mobile Meals in Warsaw and the surrounding area through Kosciusko Senior Services.

Bob is a lifelong resident of Warsaw and previously owned of Gast Fuel and Services Inc. before retirement. Gast is a World War II Veteran and Purple Heart recipient. He has served on the Warsaw City Council and in many other capacities in the community, including The Salvation Army and Warsaw Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

“Bob Gast is a great representative of the motto of Rotary International: ‘Service Above Self,’” noted John Hall as they were getting ready to deliver meals. Bob just smiled and said, “I like to do my part in helping others.”
