Bob Fairfield
Orange County Wheelmen (OCW) Family,
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of OCW's President, Bob Fairfield. Bob bravely battled cancer for the last two years, maintaining a positive outlook, always supported by his loving wife, Monica McCarthy. On Thursday morning, October 3rd, Bob passed away peacefully.
Since 2006, Bob has been an integral part of OCW. He was always the first to volunteer at events, leading Saturday rides with warm greetings and wise safety advice before sending riders on their way. An example of his selflessness, Bob often accompanied newer or slower riders offering guidance and support. As President of OCW for the past three years, Bob provided steady leadership and dedication to the club. His presence and kindness will be deeply missed.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Bob’s devoted wife, Monica McCarthy.
A memorial service will be held on October 25th at 10:30 AM at St. Killian Church in Mission Viejo, followed by a reception. More details will be distributed as they become available
