Robert Behnken Obituary
A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, "Bob" lived a life defined by commitment to family, service, and a quiet strength. He proudly served in the United States Navy, carrying the values of duty and honor with him throughout his life.
He was a loving and steadfast partner to his beloved wife, Christina, and a guiding presence to his children Robert and Steven. Nothing brought him greater pride than being "Pop" to his five cherished grandchildren, Katy, Justin, Lewis, Tate, and Luke. They were truly the light of his life. The joy they gave him will be a fond memory for us all.
He is also survived by his younger brother Stanley Behnken, along with extended family and dear friends who will miss him deeply.
A man a few words, Bob will be remembered for his integrity, loyalty, steady wisdom, acts of service, and love of whipped cream. These values will be carried on through the lives of his children and grandchildren.
A memorial gathering is being planned.
