Robert (Bob) served in the army working on tanks and came home to work as a mechanic. Treasured memories were fishing and hunting, although he wasn’t always the biggest fan of the horses.

He was a devoted father of Irene & Maurice Gibson, Albert & Katrina Francis, Bonnie & Ed Gylling, Cindy & Bubby Morgan, Lorrita & Cory Vance. Pa Bear, as he was known by many was a grandpa to 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Bob is survived by one sister, several nephews, nieces and many brother and sister in laws.
