Robert "Bob" was born on December 8, 1938, in Readlyn, IA to Lillian and Arnold Meyerhoff.

Bob was a fun spirited person with many talents and skills. He was a school teacher for over 45 years and retired from Red Hook Central Schools. Bob was known for his deep voice, singing, honesty, sense of humor and deep faith. He cared about everyone he met.
His passions were woodworking and gardening, most importantly his grandfather's roses. He was well known for his scroll saw woodworking.
An athlete in his younger years, Bob was an avid sports enthusiast, especially football. Bob enjoyed vacationing on Cape Cod and Ogunquit, ME with his daughter and her family. He cherished his life with family and often said his grandchildren brought him the greatest joy.
