Bob was a native of Glenwood and was the proud father of his children Lisa and Jason. He owned and operated the local Dairy Queen for many years.

No matter what the task, his family could always count on him. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Lisa, Duane, Jason, Mandi and family,
We are thinking of you during this difficult time. Bob was very special to a lot of people and will be missed by many. I will miss seeing him at coffee at McDonald’s or driving around town. Please let us know how we can help you through the days ahead.
Lisa, Duane, and all family, we are saddened to hear of your loss. We hope you know we’re thinking of you and sending prayers and healing thoughts your way.
Bob was one of my first “true loves” and I am blessed to have had him in my life. I remember in the late 50’s and early 60’s sitting on a hill somewhere, him talking to his friends on his c.b. radio. Our paths led us in different directions but I have never forgotten him and I treasure what communication we did have. He was a very special person to me. May he rest in peace. Thanks for the memories, dear friend.
Wanted to let all of you know how deeply saddened we are at the loss of Bob.He will be truly missed by both of us. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you at this difficult time.
Lisa, Duane and family, I want you to know that we are very sorry for your loss. I will truly miss seeing Bob at the softball games in the summer and driving the bus for our volleyball games in the fall. I always loved when he drove our buses and cheered us on. He was a great guy. Shelbie and I are thinking of you and your family.

Please accept our sympathies for your loss. Bob was fun to be around, and will most certainly be missed. Our family is praying for comfort for all of you.
Thanks to whomever forwarded the obituary. I had not realized Bob had died. He would stop in at the Pott. County EOC when he was in Council Bluffs and we would chat about amateur radio stuff.
Blessings to his family for whom life continues without him. He is at peace,

Duane, Lisa, Ryan, Dan, Alicia & Josh Leu and Jason Dalton and family…you have our sincere and heartfelt condolences. Your dad, grandpa and a friend to many, will be truly missed. With lots of love and hugs from your family ~ Deb & Terry
Bob will be missed by our family as well. He wa the early morning “talk radio” as he went along as someone drove to work. The hame radio antenna on my roof is one that Bob helped me to find and he was a ready source of information when it came to Ham radio. 73’s and rest easy Bob
