Age 83 of Saint Paul, Minnesota, died on Friday, January 5, 2018. Bob was born in Saint Paul, MN and spent most of his life living on the eastside.

Bob married his wife, Shirley, in October 1976 at the Fort Snelling Chapel. The following year Kristina was born, and in 1979 came Steven. Bob loved seeing both of them grow up and participate in various sports. Kristina married Steve Daum, and their son, Josh, was born in 2000 and Luke in 2004.
