Bob was born in Columbus, Indiana to Thurman and Frances Lane/Laine. In 1956, when Bob was only 18, he enlisted in the United States Air Force. While stationed in Japan, he met the love of his life Kukue Kuwayama (known as Terri). They were married on February 3, 1958 at the American Embassy in Tokoyo, Japan. In 1967, a joyous baby boy came into their lives, Michael Lynn Lane. Bob and Mike were not just father and son, they were "best buds!" They fished, hunted, mud raced, snowmobiled... together. There was never any doubt, Bob LOVED HIS FAMILY. During his Airforce career, Bob served as an Air Traffic Controller, Air Traffic Controller Superintendent, and a Chief Controller. He served our country faithfully for 20 years and retired as a Senior Master Sargent in 1976. After retiring from the Airforce, Bob attended college at Weber State University.

Bob was preceeded in death by his wife Terri Kuwayama Lane, his brother Bill, and his two sisters, Wanda, and Ida Lane. He is survived by his son, Mike Lane of West Point, UT, and his brothers, Roger, and Larry Lane from Indiana. Bob not only served his country, but he served his fellowman. He lived well, and loved much. He is missed, but will live eternally in our hearts. A formal service will not be held.
