He married Lana Lee Payne on April 19, 1967, inBloomington, Idaho.Theirmarriage waslatersolemnized in the Salt Lake Temple on June 19, 1999. His family was his pride and joy and he loved them all unconditionally. We will always remember his contagious sense of humor,the twinkle inhis eyes,his hugs and his love of the "UTES". He was an Eagle Scout and could build anything. He spent weekends and holidays remodeling our 150 year old farm house in Bear Lake. It took a long time but he did 99% of it himself and it was a proud accomplishment for him. He loved the farm and his completely restored bright red International Super C tractor.He drove it in the parade on the 4thof July in Paris, Idaho ‚ usually with a child on his lap.
Bob worked hard all of his life and was a great provider. He was a store manager for Albertson's and a print salesman and production manager for Color Litho Lab, a family owned business. He retired in 2008 from Printech.
If Bob was in a room, there was laughter and happiness. When his grandchildren started to talk he would tell them "say Bob and I'll give you a horse". As a result of his love, they would come in the house and immediately look around and ask "where's Bob?"
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, his sons Robert Glenn (Sharon), Christopher Russell and 5 grandchildren: Garrett Robert Warner, Dallin Evan Warner, Mekayla Ann Warner, Madison Leigh Warner and Marcus Ethan Warner. Brothers: Reed Eugene (Kathy), Gary C. (Gwen), Steven C., Ronald C. (Colleen), Michael C.
