Bob was born November 23, 1925 in St. Paul, MN and was raised in Minneapolis, MN. Over the years he lived in Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Cannon Falls and Rosemount, Minnesota. Bob passed away peacefully at Suites Living in Inver Grove Heights on May 9, 2024 where he resided the past 5 months.
Preceded in death by his parents and siblings; his wife, Annamarie; son Mark and daughter, Marijo. He is survived by daughter, Marcia (Roger) Melde; sons, Michael (Joyce) & Mickey (Gwen); son-in-law, Bud Brand and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Bob worked as a plumber his entire life and was a member of Local 034. He enjoyed working in his yard and garden for many years, puttering and tinkering on this and that, traveling by air, car or RV. Mostly, he enjoyed visiting and spending time with family. Teasing, joking, and laughing with family made him smile the most. He lived a long life and was blessed with a strong memory, and great sense of humor right to the end. He showed grace and gratefulness to everyone who cared for him and helped him remain in his own home into his late 90’s. A special thank you to those many care givers who touched his life along the way.
A private family graveside Celebration of Bob’s Life will be held this summer. Bob will be laid to rest in Resurrection Cemetery alongside his wife and son.
