1950 - 2022

Robert "Bob" L. Leffler Sr., 71, of Warsaw, passed away on Sunday, May 15, 2022, at his home in Warsaw surrounded by his wife and children.

Bob was born on May 20, 1950, in Keokuk, Iowa, the son of Bennie Wayne and Mary Jane (Gilliland) Leffler. On September 6, 1969, he was united in marriage to Linda Lee at the Methodist Church in Warsaw. She survives. Bob proudly served his country during the Vietnam War and was stationed in Germany. He was honorably discharged.

Bob worked several jobs over the course of his life. He worked construction and was co-owner of The HomeFoamers insulation company. He went on to work at Griffin Wheel for twenty-one years and drove a truck for another fifteen years. Bob belonged to the Warsaw Assembly of God Church. He grew up in Keokuk ("West K") and raised his family in Warsaw. He enjoyed being outdoors, whether it be fishing, hunting for mushrooms, boating or riding his Kawasaki motorcycle. He was also an avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Iowa Hawkeyes. Bob had a knack for storytelling, a skill he honed on many a barstool in the Tri-State area; he was a regular patron at the Warsaw VFW. Bob loved catching up with his buddies at the bar, but more than anything, he loved his grandchildren.
