Robert was born in Stanford, Nebraska, on June

to Bonners Ferry with his parents.
In 1933 during the depression, Robert, more
commonly known as Bob, went to school in
Boundary County. He enlisted in the Navy on
September 30, 1943, and was in the Navy until he
was discharged due to his dad’s health and his
dad needing him on April 6, 1946.
Bob was a farmer, a grange member and a member
of the American Legion. He was also a member of
the Mt. Hall Community Church. Bob was a mellow
and easy going person. He went to the Senior
Center for lunch sometimes giving two friends a
ride to the Senior Center.
He had one sibling, a baby sister who died at
birth. His father passed away on December 31,
1976, his mother passed away at the Boundary
Community ECF Wing on February 13, 1991, and a
cousin, Milton J. Vincent, who passed away in
Denver.
He leaves behind Evelyn, wife of cousin Milton
Vincent of Denver; cousin Bette McCullough from
Montana; second cousins Bill, Heidi, Marcus,
Myron, Jeannie, Ron, and Sue. Bob is also
survived by his guardian Judy Weible and family
of Bonners Ferry, and many, many friends.
Bob will be greatly missed by all. Memorials can
be made to the Alzheimers Foundation in memory
of Bob. Rest in peace Bob! |
