Robert Lodge Dressner, 85, of St Simons Island passed away Saturday, August 10, 2013 at his residence. Bob was the beloved owner-operator of the popular Dressner's Village Cafe from 1988 until 2005.

He worked in the food business his entire career, holding positions in Pennsylvania, Mississippi, and several states in the Midwest, before coming to St. Simons Island in 1988.
