He married Arnelle Ragsdale March 17th 1953. They had four children. Robert Michael (Jini), Connie Lynn McBride (Kim), Nancey Burbank and Phillip Keith (Cher). We also recognize his daughter Linda, who held a special place in his heart. Bob remarried in 1974 to Maxine Moedl who had two children, Eric Brizzee and Lisa Madsen. At the tail end of World War II, Bob enlisted, then served in the Korean Conflict and two terms in Vietnam where he was heavily decorated as a member of the elite Special Forces. Bob was a people person and friends were very important to him. Bob had a brilliant mind and could do anything. He built a beautiful log home in Island park where he and Maxine spent their summers and then wintered in Yuma. It was in Yuma that he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and on March 6th 2015 he returned to his Father in Heaven after a long and wonderful life. He will be missed by all, especially those who called him Grandpa Bob. Bob is survived by his wife Maxine, his five children, two step children and lots of grand and great grand children. He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Betty, brother Wayne and ex-wife Arnelle.
