He is survived by his daughters, Sandra Ball and Renee Kelly, both of Casper. They blessed him with a total of 5 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandsons, establishing a 5-generation family. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
Bob was preceded in death, in addition to his wife, by 10 brothers and 2 sisters.
