He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Sr. and Virginia Lasrich; his sister, Khristina “Tina” Patterson; his granddaughter, Sydney Muenchow; and his great-grandson, Grayson Centers.

Bob will be remembered for his service in the United States Navy, his determination, and the stories he shared throughout his life. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him.

The family extends sincere gratitude to Bob’s former wife, Karletta “Karee” Coon, for the kindness and compassion she showed throughout his final days. Special thanks are also extended to Steve Larsen for his steadfast presence and support during Bob’s final hours.
