Cherished grandfather of Alayna and Bennet Phillips.  Beloved brother to Jack and Marilyn Hobein; dear brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend to many.

Bob was born in Saint Louis, Missouri on January 3, 1947.  He spent his youth living in North St. Louis City and County where he enjoyed playing soccer and baseball and made lifelong friends. After earning his high school diploma, he was drafted into the US Army where he served his country both in Hawaii and locally at Jefferson Barracks from 1966-1968.  After his time in the service, he met the love of his life, Kathy and they were happily married for 52 years.  Bob started his apprenticeship in 1972 and worked for 40 years as a union meatcutter for Local 88.  

Bob's relationships with his family and friends brought him the greatest joy; he was always willing to extend a helping hand and offer support.  He enjoyed music, boating, sports, home projects and the simple pleasures of life; he never missed a party or an opportunity to gather with those he loved.  He will be remembered as an honest, hard-working, generous man with an impeccable character and integrity.  He honored traditions, and was a loyal patriot to his country.  His love and dedication to his family was evident in how he lived his life.  He will be greatly missed and his memory will be cherished by all who knew and loved him.
