Bob was born in Streator, IL November 26, 1942 to George D. Troutwine, Sr and Vera (Mills) Troutwine. He moved from IL to the San Fernando Valley, California in the early 50's. Bob had a full life, bowling, riding horses and participated in other Special Olympics events in California
Vera and Bob were inseparable and when they needed to be closer to family, he 'retired' from New Horizons and they moved to Wapello, IA in 1995
After Vera's passing, Bob needed more help and moved to Lee's Summit, MO to live with his niece and nephew, where he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. In MO, he bowled with the YMCA Challengers and met new friends, attended many Royals games, Monster Trucks, demolition derbies, parades and other events as his health allowed. One highlight was meeting Dale, Jr at a car show. The Iowa Hawkeyes held his heart even when his body was in Missouri.
