Knoxville, Tn (WOKI) Dr. Bob, host of ‘The Dr.Bob Show’ and reoccurring guest on WBIR’s ‘Live at Five at Four’ has died.
Dr. Robert “Bob” Overholt passed peacefully at his home Monday, June 10 at the age of 85.
Overholt began his medical career in Knoxville and dedicated his life to the community and his patients. He is perhaps best known for presenting medical information twice a week on WBIR’s now-retired “Live at Five at Four” show.
Overholt also hosted the popular television program, “The Dr.Bob Show” for over 30 years. The show won more than two dozen Telly Awards.
“We should all remember his 4 axioms of good living: exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, get a good night’s sleep, and always have laughter in our life,” Overholt’s obituary said.
Overholt leaves behind his wife of 63 years and two sons. A memorial service will be held at West Hills Baptist Church Sunday, June 16 at 12:30 p.m. following the morning worship service. A receiving of friends will follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to West Hills Baptist Church.
