He was reunited with his son, Jeff, on September 7, 2013, surrounded by the love of his family. He attended Zion Lutheran School thru 8th grade and then graduated from Alva High School in 1954. He attended Northwestern State College of Alva, and then graduated from Oklahoma A&M College in 1959 with a degree in agricultural education. He was a proud supporter of the OSU "Posse" club and a loyal "Cowboy" fan for the last 56 years. Bob taught Vo-Ag in Greenfield and Dover, OK. He was a manager of Perry and Newkirk, OK Cooperatives. In 1970, Bob established Northwest Vet Supply, Inc., Enid, OK, which he owned and operated for over 40 years. During this time, he became a founding member of a leading national animal health company, Agrilabs, serving on the board of directors for over nine years. Bob was an active member of the Grand National Quail Club, serving in many capacities, including president and in 1998, inducted into the "Quail Club" Hall of Fame. Bob was a well-known supporter of the agricultural community throughout Garfield County and the state of Oklahoma. His involvement with OSU extension programs, junior livestock shows, and educational meetings strengthened our entire region. Bob was instrumental in forming the Garfield County Livestock Boosters to raise monies for our youth. Bob received the only "Man of the Year" honor for all he had done. Bob was very humbled to receive this honor. Although Bob enjoyed hunting, fishing, ranching, golfing, OSU games and being at the cabin, most importantly, he loved spending time with his family and friends. His grandchildren were the light of his life. Not only was he the best Dad and Gramps, he was a true friend to us all.
