Robert E. Seery passed away on April 1 at ninety-three years of age. He was born to Francis and Birdie Seery in Des Moines on August 28, 1916 where he lived all of his life. He attended Lincoln High School. He was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army and was proud to have served under General Patton in the Second World War.
He spent most of his working life in the automotive business. Before his retirement, he was the general manager of the Regional Dodge Truck Center in Des Moines. Bob had a loyal following which spanned many generations.
Darlene (Woods) Seery was the love of his life. They were married for sixty-six years before Darlene passed away five years ago.
Bob and Darlene had two children, Robert W. Seery (Jonnie) of Scottsdale, Arizona and Deborah Angelino (Glenn) of Des Moines. They had five grandchildren, Kerry Kellen (Rich), Deborah Demerath (Tony), Lisa Hinckley, Chad Angelino and Meghan Tiernan (John). They had eight great grandchildren. The circle of life continues with the ninth great grandchild due in August. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, James Seery and sister, Mary McGee.
Bob’s talent and creativeness resulted in countless projects that he built for his family, all laced with love. He was a tireless worker and a source of strength, love and inspiration to his family and friends.
Services will be held at noon, Monday, April 5 at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home in Des Moines. The family will receive visitors one hour prior to the service.
His memory would best be served by a contribution to the Boy’s and Girl’s Town of Boy’s Town, Nebraska and Mercy Hospice.

Dear Bob, Jonnie & family:
Judy and I were quite saddened by the passing of your dad. He was a remarkable individual as was your loving mother, Darlene. I have recalled many times, and never forgetten his kindness and generosity toward me during my young adult life. I have and always will cherish those memories of your parents and the goodness within them. On this Easter day, I will pray that Bob and Darlene are finally reunited in a much better place.
May the Lord's blessing be with you and keep your family in His grace- I ask this in His name.
Eternally grateful,
Cia & Judy Hojati
