Robert was born October 22, 1931 in Grand Island, Nebraska to Floyd & Leta (Horan) Findley. He graduated from Grand Island Senior High in 1950. Hastings was Bob's home the past 61 years. Bob proudly served his country in the Korean War from 1952 to 1953. He was honored to be on the first Nebraska Korean War Honor Flight to Washington D.C. He married Luetta Hepp on August 19, 1951. They enjoyed 63 wonderful years together and to this union two children were born. Upon moving to Hastings, Bob started working for the Dutton Lainson Company where he worked for almost 50 years. He retired as Warehouse Superintendent for Dutton Lainson in 1993. He was a member of the VFW and the Husker Touchdown Club. Bob was an avid Husker fan and he and Lu have been faithful followers of Husker football since the 1960's. Bob and Lu followed the Huskers both home and away. To honor Bob, we welcome the wearing of Husker attire to his funeral. Bob enjoyed hunting and fishing and was an excellent bowler. He and Lu bowled on a league for many years. He loved gardening and spent many Saturdays serving his customers at the Hastings Downtown Farmer's Market. His pride and joy was his children and grandchildren and he loved being active in their lives.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents.
