Family of Bob Story
We are so happy to have had Bobby in our lives. He brought happiness and laughter to us whenever we were together. We grew up together in Sioux Falls, S.D. Bobby was like the older brother we never had.
Throughout our childhood, he had an extraordinarily positive attitude about family and whatever life brought his way. He always carried the positive attitude close to his heart and readily shared it with everyone. We will always remember his laughter and that radio announcer voice!
We will miss you, dear Bobby.
Cheryl Volenec & Carol Sunde

Robert Story seems so formal for this fun loving cousin of mine. Growing up we always called him by his first and middle name, Bobby Edward. Living a great distance apart, we missed our fun times together. In our later years we connected by e-mail and cell phones. His family was always his main concern. He enjoyed telling me how he met and fell in love with Janet. He cherished his Wednesday visits with Leslie. Even though Bobby was suffering with so many illnesses, he never lost faith in his family and life. I'll miss that catchy laugh of his.
