Bob was born on April 15, 1934, in Kellogg, IA, a son to Albert and Minny (Redding) Henning. Bob was raised in the Newton, IA area where he would eventually meet the love of his life, Helen Lily Tutor. The couple was united in marriage on March 14, 1953, and have been blessed with 67 wonderful years together and 5 children.
