Together, they had three children: Brian, Chris, and Heather. Bob worked at Case from 1972 until his retirement. Following retirement, he continued working part time with RiverBend Transit. Bob enjoyed drinking his PBR, playing pool, listening to music, doing jigsaw puzzles with family and spending time with them vacationing to Daytona Beach. He was an avid Cardinals and Packers fan.

Bob will be missed by his children, Brian (Jeni) Braun, Chris (Kathy) Braun, and Heather (Ryan) Braun; and seven grandchildren: Chelsey, Kourtney, Hannah, Kaleb, Gunnar, Ethen, and Kaden. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Laura, in 2017; and a sister: Linda Kindig.

The family wants to extend special thanks to the Genesis Cancer Institute & Infusion Center, Bob’s Genesis hospice nurse, Elise, and all the others who have helped with Bob’s healthcare over the recent years.
