Robert 'Bob' Ulmer

Decatur

Robert "Bob" Ulmer died peacefully at Huntsville Hospital on November 1, 2012. He was preceded in death by his parents, Willard and Helen Ulmer. Bob was born December 26, 1942, in Illinois. He is survived by one son, Todd Ulmer, Michigan, and several cousins, Holly (Jim) Freels, Heather (Chuck) Wolf, JB (Brandi) Freels and Jennifer (Matt) Turpin. He has many friends and co-workers in Decatur and around the country that will miss him, his gourmet cooking and his opinions. Missing him more than anyone else will be his two cats, Lily and Alex.

Bob was an active member of the Decatur Elk Lodge No. 655 and the River City Eagle's Club. He retired from BASF after 18 years.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Decatur Elk Lodge from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on November 7, 2012, followed by a special Elk service starting at 7 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, send a donation to one of Bob's favorite charities, Hospice of the Valley, Best Friends Animal Society, Meals on Wheels, or St. Jude Children's Hospital.

Not sure what to say?

It has been 1 year and 1 day since you died- we still miss you and all you added to this bleak world. Lilly and Alex are more socialable since there are more people in their lives- they are spoiled and have wound Don and me around their paws- they try to sneak onto the bed to sleep in comfort. They even tolerate the grandkids. We miss you and remember you with kind words (well mostly kind) whenever we are with Susan and Cal, and Jill and Russ. You have not been forgotten at the Eagles or the...

Always,

Bob, what can I say except Don and I did and will continue to do as you requested. We were with you through thick and thin. We were as shocked as everyone was that you did not pull through the hip surgery. We made sure you did not die alone or in pain- you were indeed surrounded by friends and famliy as you peacefully went to Heaven. Lilly and Alex still miss you, but both are warming up to Susan, Cal, Don and me. They were and will always be your faithful "friends" who don't know they were...

R.I.P, we love you and miss you....

Bob was a great guy. Rosemary and I enjoyed knowing him and in his earlier years doing things with him and his son Todd in the Detroit area. I will miss our twice yearly talks on the phone. Peace be with you, Bob

Ulmer was one of kind even among the unique bunch at DeSoto in days long ago but memories still like yesterday. We talked of many worlds, and Bob always had a wonder of things and perspective all his own. We are all a little less for his passing.

Bob was a good family friend, a great cook, and will be missed..... vicky
