Bob was born on August 24, 1941, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the son of Glenn and Elizabeth (Kohl) Lehr. He graduated from Lisbon High School in 1959. On October 19, 1963, he married Marcia Reyhons at Federated Church in Lisbon. Bob was a lifelong proud farmer, continuing to be outside tinkering and looking after things long after retirement. He enjoyed bowling in his younger days, playing Euchre whenever possible, and taking in a Swisher Sweet and Busch Lite. He'd walk into any room with his Bobby smile and a story to tell. He will be remembered for his 'neighborhood patrol' and love for family. Bob was preceded in death by his parents; son, Gary Robert Lehr; sister, JoAnn Stout; brothers-in-law, Roger (Lou Ann) Reyhons; Dennis Hampton, Mike Beres, and Tom Abbott; and nephews, Kevin Westfall and Bobby Westfall.
