He worked at Always Freightline, owned Stohs Liquor for 14 years, worked at the Herkimer Coop, was a Maintainer Operator for Oketo and Marysville Townships, a trustee for Logan Township, and enjoyed going on harvest with area friends and farmers. For the last 20 years, Bob worked for the Marshall County Public Works and later became Supervisor. Bob enjoyed spending time with his friends and family, spoiling the grandkids, following his daughters to all of their sporting events, country cruising, and hunting. He enjoyed the outdoors and was always working on his farmers tan. Lori and the girls would like Bob to be remembered as the fun and stubborn "Super Bob" with a cheesy grin, a toothpick in his pocket, serious face and the big ol'teddy bear that he was. Survivors include his wife, Lori; four daughters, Tish L. Outhet, Oketo, Ashley M. (Daniel) Holle, Hanover, Jenna R. (Tom) Scheetz, Hanover, and Haley R. (Tyler) Finley, Fort Campbell, KY; brother, Donald (Betty) Stohs, Waterville; two sisters, Judy Myers and Alice Stratton, both of Baldwin City, KS; and four grandchildren, Shaelyn, Carson, Dillon, Brianna; and baby Finley, due in July.
