ROBERT BEGUELIN

Hi Roger

We just learned that we lost our good friend, Bob Beguelin, on 9/1-- he was 84.

His obituary is available on Google.

I called him in June and he had no serious health problems that were life threatening at  that time -- had a large vegetable garden -- gave most of it to his neighbors and they were bringing him pies and cakes -- had a big-screen TV and was watching all of the baseball games -- seemed very contented in the home that he and Marge and then Donna shared there in Lawrence.

Bob grew up in Lawrence -- graduated from Kansas University -- worked his  way through school at the local Gamble Store. He went on to manage the stores in Abilene, Dodge City, Salina and Ottawa.

Bob then moved to Nebraska and served as a zone manager before being promoted to a position in franchise operations in Minneapolis. When the Gamble Division closed its doors, he transferred to Our Own to work in store development in Michigan. At age 65 he retired and moved back to Lawrence..

 
We will remember him for his big smile -- sparkling personality, positive attitude and as a  great friend.

I have posted his obituary in that section of this web site.
 
We will truly miss Bob.
