ROBERT FRANKLIN DICE, JR Robert "Bob" Franklin Dice, Jr., age 89, passed away peacefully on June 18, 2025. Born on October 7, 1935, in Wichita, Kansas, Bob was the beloved son of Robert Franklin and Bessie Jane (Sutter) Dice, Sr. Bob graduated from North High School in Wichita and went on to earn an Associate's Degree from Butler Community College. He dedicated much of his life to public service, proudly serving as both a policeman and a firefighter for the City of El Dorado. Bob found deep purpose in his work as a firefighter and carried a lifelong pride in the role he played in protecting his community. On September 4, 1956, Bob married the love of his life, Kenna Lu Fluke, in Wichita, Kansas. Together they built a life centered on family, commitment, and shared adventures. Bob had a passion for model trains and a fondness for Porsche cars. He also cherished time spent on the water, enjoying boating with his family.
