Bob was born on March 4, 1938, to William (Bill) and Thelma (Beatrice) Fisher. Bob served in the U.S. Army and was apart of the 101st Airborne Division during his time served. He was hardworking and spent his life career as an over-the-road truck driver working for Midwest Driver and retiring in 2003. Bob’s hobbies included reading, flipping through channels on the TV; constantly turning the channel during all the good parts of whatever him and his family were watching, and above all his family. He adored his family, especially his grandkids. Bob loved to tease his grandkids, nieces, nephews – really any children that were in his presence were subject to his teasing. Bob was an avid animal lover as well, having his cocker spaniels, his wife, Marilyn’s, bulldogs, and their cats.
