I knew Bob when he worked in Pevely. He was a very nice guy and a good electrician.
He was also a very good bowler. I bowled with him on our Canco bowling league.
Condolences to his family
We were coworkers at the can company in Pevely for over seventeen years. He was electrician and I was mechanic. Bob was friendly and a good worker.

Lynda, so sorry for your family’s loss! Bob was exactly as he was described in the obituary. Such a great, good humored man who loved the Lord and radiated that back to those lives he touched. Lord bless you, and if there is anything we can do to ever help you, please let us bless you by doing so!
We have enjoyed knowing Bob for many years. He always had a smile. He was a brave man enduring through the pain. He was quiet until he got on a subject and spoke about it showing his wisdom. Dave and I enjoyed talking to him. He was very detailed and built the most beautiful items. A clock and a ship he recently finished are amazing. He loved his Lynda and loved shopping for her through the years. We will all miss him. Judy and Dave Mueller Natalie, Davey and Jen too.
I will miss my brother. I remember as a boy being very proud of him when he was in the military. We got to go down to Fort Leonard Wood and watch him march. I enjoyed the times we spent together talking about the Lord, cars, motorcycles, and technology. All of our love to, my sister- in- love Lynda, niece Sheryl and nephews Pete and Dan as well as their spouses. Heaven is sweeter now since you have made it home Bob.
