Robert Daniel Obituary

Robert "Bob" Daniel, born July 24, 1938, passed away at the age of 86 on Sept. 9, 2024.

Anyone who knew Bob knew that he loved people. He loved talking to anyone about anything, but his favorite topics included his family, fishing and generally joking around. He moved to the West Plains area in 1963 where shortly after he started his own business, Bob's Equipment Repair, which he ran until he retired. After retirement, he volunteered by driving the parking shuttle at Ozarks Medical Center where he could continue to bring happiness to others with kindness and conversation.

He is preceded in death by his mother Georgia Daniel, his father Carl Daniel and his wife of 57 years, Dianna Daniel.

He is survived by his brother Donald Daniel (Ruth), niece Deb Carlson and nephew Wendell Daniel; his three children Terry Wilson (Joe), Kimberly Wilson and Michael Daniel (Connie); his seven grandchildren J Lane Wilson, Brittany McCarthy, Sarah Nanni, Dacia Wade, Derek Daniel, Tyler Wilson and Forrest Wilson; and his 11 great grandchildren. Chances are that if you ever ran into Bob, you were kept up to date on all of them.

A private service for family will be held at a later time. In lieu of flowers, please make a conscious act of kindness towards others in his memory.

Arrangements under the direction of Robertson-Drago Funeral Home. Online condolences may be left at www.robertsondrago.com.

Bob and Dee were very special to our family. They were so good to Mom and Dad. They fostered my niece and nephews and helped them with loving support and encouragement. We all loved them very much.
I hope Bob and Daddy are shooting Anvils in heaven!
