Robert Biedenharn Obituary
February 1, 1925 - March 26, 2015
Robert M. Biedenharn was a veteran of WWII and served in the European Theater of Operations as a Lieutenant in the Paratroops. He graduated from the University of Mississippi where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In 1950, he married the late June Turnbow Biedenharn. Bob was co-founder of the Holiday Harbor marinas, located in Southern California. He is survived by his daughter, Kris; his son, Larry; four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, his Southern drawl, Southern charm and sense of humor were lovable trademarks. He was a cherished friend whose presence will be missed each and every day.

So sorry for your loss Kris & Larry. Bob was one of a kind and we had many years of fun travel with him. You couldn't finish a sentence without reminding him of a new joke. We will miss him.

Mr. and Mrs. Biedenharn were such good friends of my parents. I remember their laughter on visits. Mr. B would call my father at midnight on Christmas (which was 3:00 AM on the East Coast) as a prank to wake Dad up. One year, Dad called at 6:00 AM on the East Coast to return the favor. He asked Mr. B what he was doing and without missing a beat Mr. B said "Just sitting here waiting for you to call." It was one of my father's favorite stories.
Mr. Biedenharn was truly a kind gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him. I hope he and my father are together again, sharing some laughs.

God bless his family. Bob was one of my favorite cousins. What a delight to be with June and Bob. A true Southern gentleman and what a sense of humor. Rest in peace, Bob, with your beloved June.

Please except my deep condolences. Death of a love one is the hardest thing we can go through, because we are never prepared for it so I hope you find some comfort in knowing sickness, pain and death will one day be no more for this has been promised to us.
