Robert Eugene Pals was born Feb. 25, 1929 to Fred and Helen (Lundin) Pals, in Chicago, Ill. He grew up around Meservey, Iowa until his family moved to Rush City, Minn.

In 1949 Bob married Lois D. Davis in the Little Brown Church, in Nashua, Iowa. To them were born two children, Randy D. Pals and Sally Pals.

Bob’s favorite pastimes were hunting, enjoying the activity on Clear Lake, and cheering on the Minnesota Twins! But, most of all, Bob enjoyed time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Pals; a son, Randy (Judy) Pals; a daughter, Sally (Jerry) Witt; grandchildren, Josh Witt, Justin Witt, Jessica McDonald, Jill Oulman, Casey Oulman, Keri Oulman, and Kelly Geerlings; a great-grandson; and two great-granddaughters; as well as numerous extended family members and friends.
