gently slipped away after an uplifting prayer led
by his son while surrounded by his family and Army

Monday October 31st . He lost his last battle in
his war against Pulmonary Fibrosis. Robert was
born 7 December 1931 in Omaha NE to Harold and
Dorothy Price. He is survived by his wife Janice

sons William (Bill), James (Jim), and Jon (Jon),
four grandsons Ethan, Trevor, Aaron, and Graham,
and his great grandson Grayson, born to his

after 21 years of Army service in 1975. He then
worked in different enterprises until he joined

Transportation Corp designing medium to heavy
tactical wheeled vehicles for the Army. He retired
as a GS-13 in 2005 after 43 years of service to

good Christian, and passing these values onto
others. He had a passion for singing, grilling and
smoking food, reading, family events, soldier
safety, and doing the right thing. Bob has touched
more lives than he will ever know, and will be
truly missed. A celebration of life will be held
