Robert Kern Obituary
Roseburg, Oregon - In remembrance of Robert (Bob) Kern, born October 2, 1946 in Detroit, MI to Oswald Joseph Kern and Eula Steih Kern, passed on April 28, 2021. To know him was to love him and to always have someone to have a good time with. He adored his family and friends and that is what meant most to him in life.
He is survived by his daughter, Krista, son-in-law, Terry and his grandchildren, Madalyn and Callen. He cherished his late wife, Madalyn, his parents, 4 brothers, 6 sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, and dearest friends. Success is loving what you do, and this was evident throughout his professional endeavors, he held a high regard for working for Accuray and ABB as a Process Control Engineer.
He also loved to share stories about growing up in Michigan with childhood dreams of moving to California, high school days, the Airforce and Alaska, shooting pool, horseshoes, bowling, playing basketball, snowmobiling, the
Niner's, Bob Seger, and his feathered friends. And over the years we have all had countless conversations with him that will never be forgotten and if you just needed him to be there, he always was.
And may we always remember, as he always did...those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul...

I have often wondered whatever happened to Bobby Kern, as we were great friends who both lived on Gronow street in Center Line and hung out together so often during our grade school years. It is so heartening to read about his happy and successful life and all the cherished relatives and friends who will remember him for his indeed wealthy soul.
