ROBERT EUGENE KEIHL March 20, 1928 ~ January 15, 2017 Bob was born the 7th of seven children to Louie & Anna Kiehl at Burr Oak, Kansas and grew up in Red Cloud, Nebraska. He served in the U.S. Navy for two years, and four years later he married the love of his life, Elaine Pfister, in Sutton, Nebraska on August 13, 1950. Soon thereafter Bob went to work in the Communication Dept of the Southern Pacific Railroad, moving often within the company until finally settling in Los Molinos, CA in 1956, where Bob & Elaine raised their two daughters, Alexa & Deborah. Declining health required moving from their country home of 57 years, and in October, 2016 they settled in Feather Canyon, a lovely independent living facility. Bob had a love for the outdoors that included hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, biking, walking, gardening, and all of nature in general. By all who knew him he will be remembered for his accurate and personal "story telling." Bob entered into a personal relationship with his Savior at age 28 and grew in his faith until his completion, at which time he peacefully entered into Jesus' arms, with Elaine present, at Paradise Hospice House, where he spent the last month of his life on earth. Bob is survived by his wife of over 66 years, Elaine, daughters Alexa Termini & son-in-law Michael of Capitola, CA, Deborah Moore & son-in-law Jeff of Chico, CA, grandchildren Jordana Moore of Brooklyn, NY, Alec Moore of San Diego, CA, siblings Clifford & wife Ada Kiehl of Quenemo, KS, Ruby Duncan of Gardner, KS, and numerous nieces and nephews. There will be a future private family celebration of life. Anyone wishing to make a contribution in Robert's memory may send it to Paradise Hospice House, 1295 Bille Rd, Paradise, CA 95969, or your personal charity choice.

I only got to hear a few of Bob's stories and they were doozies. I am sorry that I will not be able to hear more. Sending loving thoughts and hugs to his family.

I will miss Bob's quick smile and how he always asked about each person in the family. And, oh, how he could tell great stories! We'll see you soon, Bob!
