Robert "Bob" Allen Larman, age 78, passed away suddenly at the Research Medical Center in Kansas City, MO on February 19, 2026.
Bob was born on December 11, 1947 to Albert and Ruby Larman in Blythville, AR. Bob lost his father at the age of three. They relocated to El Paso, TX, where his mother met and married Berton F. Clement, a member of the U.S. Air Force. Living in a military family, Bob grew up in several areas of the world — from Texas to Louisiana, Nebraska, England, and Spain. Bob graduated high school in 1966 in Lincoln, NE. He then joined the U.S. Air Force, serving two tours in Vietnam and SE Asia.
During his military career, Bob was able to obtain a degree in Business Management. Upon retirement from active duty, he became a management consultant for the U.S. Military through Civil Service.
Bob was a member of the American Legion and The Elks Club of Clay Center, KS. He was also a former President of the Clay Center Country Club. He was an avid golfer, a true Patriot, all-around great guy, and Friend to all. Everybody loved Bob!
