Bob was born in Clear Lake on July 15, 1931 to Henry and Vernetta (Hanson)
Jacobson. He graduated from Clear Lake High School in 1950. He enlisted in the
Army and served in Germany during the Korean Conflict. Upon ing home, Bob got
his barber license and began working with his dad, Henry, at his Clear Lake
barbershop in 1955. They worked together for 12 years before Bob took over the
business himself in 1967. He retired in May 2009 after cutting hair for more
than 55 years.

Bob was an avid fan of all sports, especially the Iowa Hawkeyes. He was a proud
supporter of the Clear Lake Lions, cheering on numerous teams through the years.
He also enjoyed golfing, going to parades, listening to music at the Clear Lake
Bandshell, and socializing with his coffee group at the Corner Deli.

Bob, who was affectionately known as Peanuts since he was a child, will be
remembered as a kind and gentle man with a heart of gold. He was a loyal friend
who got along with everybody. His barbershop on Main Street was a place to get
a good haircut, hear the latest gossip, share opinions on worldly events, and of
course talk sports.

Bob was a member of the First Assembly of God Church in Mason City and the Clear
Lake VFW.

Bob loved his family and friends and will be missed by many. He is survived by
his daughter, Liz and her husband, Jim Langill, Wheaton, Ill.; his brother, Jim
Jacobson, Cedar Falls, Iowa; his sister, Arlene Laughlin, Des Moines, Iowa;
grandchildren, Mike and Jenny Langill, Wheaton; his loving companion, Dianna
Clute, Mason City and her children, Brook, Ashley, Bruce, and Kim; several
nieces and nephews as well as countless friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Don Jacobson.
