In February of 1960 Bob was married to Barbara Ringsdorf.  This union was blessed with a son, Bret.  The couple later divorced.

Bob farmed most of his life on the family farm in rural Wesley.  He retired from farming in 2000 in order to put more effort into his hobbies of cars, bike riding and boating.  Bob did not stop working all together because he continued his window tint business.

Bob loved going to Buddy Holly concerts.  Through the concerts and his other hobbies he was able to make and retain many friends from across the country and the world.

Bob is survived by Marilynn Darg-Anderson of Clear Lake; son Bret (Sandy) Seefeld of Oro Valley, Arizona; along with many cousins and numerous friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; 2 brothers:  Raymond and Roland; and his sister Darlene Ricklefs.
