Bob was born in San Francisco where he met and, in 1953, married his high school sweetheart, Gail Friedle. They had three children, Linda Peak, Mark Samuelson, and Victoria Samuelson. Bob worked in the electronics field in the Bay Area, but they always had a summer home in Lakeport as Bob was very involved in getting the Nor-Cal Boat and Ski Club started. In 1977 the family moved to Lakeport and Bob and son, Mark, started S&S Electric which he ran for 35 years. Bob was also a veteran of the Korean War, serving in the Navy, and was a member and officer of the Lakeport Elks. He leaves behind his loving wife, Gail; his children, Linda, Mark and Vickie; five grandchildren, Adam and Jessica Peak, Jenifer Gerber, Shay Willig, and Chad Samuelson; along with four great-grandchildren. The family prefers donations in his memory to Meals on Wheels or Hospice of Lake County. Bob will be laid to rest at Hartley Cemetery.

My deepest sympathy to the family, and especially to Gayle. Bob was a great guy! I met Bob and Gayle when Bob tended bar at 'The Doc House' in Lakeport back in ? 1980-81. They were always such a "hoot!" I'm sure Bob is cracking jokes in heaven right now! RIP Bob, your memory lives on.

Death can never take a good man away, for in the hearts of the people he inspired, the legacy remains and is continuous throughout generations.
May God put him in a special place from where he will be watching us, the people who loved and cherished him.
