Bob served his country by joining the Army where he worked as a radio operator and a paratrooper for the 11th Airborne. Upon his return from the service, he met Donna Mae in September of 1959, and they were married 3 weeks later on October 3, 1959. They lived and worked in Omaha and then moved to Papillion in 1972. Bob worked as a carpet layer for 38 years until his retirement.

Bob lived a long and full life, was loved by everyone he knew or met. He loved to fish, play horseshoes, golf, where he recorded a hole-in-one at Tara Hills Golf Course, play cards and be around his family. He loved to joke and had the best one-liners to put a smile on all our faces. We are truly blessed to have had him as long as we did.

Memorials may be directed to the family.
