Robert Lee "Bob" Linneman

Robert "Bob" Lee Linneman, 86, of Salisbury, MO, died Sunday, January 26, 2025 at his home. Bob was born April 6, 1938 in Forest Green, MO the son of Eldor A. and Norma Josephine (Rohwer) Linneman. Bob married Norma Lou Henke on July 16, 1966 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Salisbury.
Bob served in the National Guard. He farmed and was the owner of Linneman Lime and Fertilizer. Bob was a member of the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Salisbury. In his younger years, he was an avid baseball fan and was one of the players on the Linneman boys' baseball team, along with his brothers and cousins.
Bob loved spending time with his family and grandchildren. The only thing that was a close second was his love of pie, with the exception of pecan pie, due to his hard work on his family's pecan farm. But this hard work built the strong work ethic that he carried throughout his life and passed on to his children and grandchildren.
