Bob was a 1962 graduate of Troy High School and was active in FFA and loved Ag classes. In 1963, following the illness of his father, Bob took over the family farm operation at the age of 19. Bob was a farmer his whole life and loved it. Following his retirement in 2011, he moved to Jacksontown where he and his wife lived on her family’s farm. Bob was of Catholic faith and attended St. John’s Lutheran Church in Bendena, Kansas.

He is survived by his wife, Beatrice Louise (Arnold) Seidl, whom he married February 14, 1988; daughter, Peggy Sue Seidl of Strafford, Missouri; step-sons, Don Cable of Buckeye Lake, Dave (Martha) Cable of Hebron and Randy Lawrence (Rachel Nethers) of Hebron; step-grandchildren, David R.
