Bob passed away peacefully fortified with the last rites of the Church. He was born on Sept. 1, 1937 to the late Arthur and Lucille (née Winkelmann. He is survived by a caring brother, Richard and (Marilyn) Witte, his loving wife of 61 happy years of marriage, Nancy (née Ernst) Together they were blessed to have 4 children, Robin (and the late Michael) Cliver, Darin (Tracy) Witte, Douglas (Belinda) Witte and Debbie (Billy) Ross. We are also blessed to have 5 grandchildren, Samantha (Jake) Martin, Garret Witte, Ren Witte, Elsen Witte and Nathan Ross. We also have one great-granddaughter, Luna Jo Witte, who could always make Bob smile. Bob retired from McDonnell Douglas in 1998 After retirement Bob had more time to do the special things he enjoyed most in his life like traveling, fishing (his favorite), golf, music, reading and working on the computer. He liked spending time with his family and many friends throughout his life. I have many memories of the fun, good times we have had. I guess you could say we had a “wonderful life”!
