Bob Zimmerman passed away Thursday, May 3, 2007 at the Cedar Valley Hospice Home, ending a long and courageous battle with cancer. At his side were his family and the "Angels on Earth" (the hospice nurses). He was born on October 18, 1928, in Cainsville, Missouri, the son of Alva and Sudie Chapman Zimmerman.

On December 22, 1949, he was united in marriage to Bessie L. Peterson in Cainsville. Together, they raised four wonderful children.

Bobby served his country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict. He was past Commander of the American Legion Post 237 for many years. He was employed with Viking Pump in Cedar Falls for 26 years, until his retirement in 1991.

Survivors include his wife of 57 years, Bessie Loudene Zimmerman; his children, Danny (Kathy) Zimmerman of Appleton, Wisconsin, Cathy (Joe) Petchulat of Manchester, Iowa, Randy (Beth) Zimmerman of Grand Rapids, Michigan and Brenda (Steve) Waddle of Cedar Falls, Iowa; seven grandchildren; two brothers, Curtis Zimmerman of Leon, Iowa and Alva Zimmerman, Jr. of Des Moines, Iowa; and a sister, Bernice Ross of Leon.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and two brothers, Bill and Carl Dean.

Bob was a 'jack of all trades', but most of all, the end goal was to help someone in need. He was a kind hearted and generous person that touched many lives and leaves us all with many fond memories.
