John “Bob” Sebring passed away on February 4, 2021, of natural causes. Bob was born and spent his entire life in San Jose, CA. After high school, he enlisted in the United States Navy where he served four years on the USS Alamo and Tortuga. After his service was over, Bob went to work full-time with PG&E.

Bob’s passion was softball. His softball career spanned over five decades and in 2017, he was inducted into the NCSSA Hall of Fame.

Besides softball, Bob enjoyed being outdoors, vacationing on cruise ships, going to the movies and rooting for the SF 49ers, SF Giants and SJSU Spartans.
