Robert Henry, son of Elmer and Laura (Kuhn) Loux was born on April 5, 1942 at the hospital in Clarion. Bob grew up in Clarion and graduated from Clarion High School when he was 16 years old. In 1959, Bob was 4th in the state as a 103 pound wrestler. After high school, Bob went to junior college in Eagle Grove and later joined the Army National Guard for 21 years.

On April 3, 1965, Bob was united in marriage to Constance Tegland at St. Olaf Lutheran Church in rural Belmond. Bob and Connie made their home on the farm near Clarion where they raised their three children. Besides farming, Bob sold seed and worked at Monsanto during the winter for 50 years.

Bob was a 4-H leader for years and involved with FFA. He enjoyed socializing and coffee (or Nectar of God’s as he would call it) at Grounded every morning. He never met a stranger! Bob loved all sports but especially loved watching the Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Iowa State Cyclones. He was a farmer at heart. He loved being in the field and growing pumpkins and sweet corn for family and friends. Bob was an active member of the United Church of Christ Congregational. He also sang with the Choralaires as a charter member for 30 years.

Bob’s family was most important to him. He loved spending time with each grandchild whether it was playing cards or golfing or supporting them at their sporting event.

Bob is survived by his wife Connie of Clarion; son Thomas (Stacy) Loux of Sugar Land, Texas and their children Paige Loux and Josh Loux; son Matthew (Elaine) Loux of Liberty, Missouri and their children Amanda (George) Golightly and their son Ryder Golightly, Derek Loux and Bryce Loux; daughter Ellen (Troy) Krumm of Ankeny and their children Caleb Krumm and Owen Krumm; brother Kenneth (Kathy) Loux of Dunwoody, Georgia and sister Sharon TerHark of Clarion. He is preceded in death by his parents; aunt Sadie Kuhn; and brother-in-law Larry TerHark.
