Robert D. Stallbaumer, 72, of Seneca, died on Tuesday, August 21, 2018 at his home.

Robert “Bob” was born on May 22, 1946 in Axtell to Felix and Lena Ronnebaum Stallbaumer. Bob grew up north of Seneca and attended St. Mary’s School in St. Benedict; graduating from High School in 1964. As a young man, Bob helped his father on the family farm, taking over the farming operation after he got married.

On September 21, 1968, Bob married Dorothy Weinert at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Lillis. To this union a daughter, Monica, was born. Dorothy died on October 26, 1973, as result of injuries suffered in an automobile accident.

On July 8, 1978 Bob married Donna S. Feldkamp in St. Michaels Catholic Church in Axtell. To this union a son, Martin, was born. The couple just celebrated 40 years of marriage.

Donna and Bob made their home on the Stallbaumer family farm, and the couple currently lived in Seneca. Bob continued to operate the farm, and he also drove for Seneca Ready Mix and Seneca Transportation, starting in 1995 and driving this past Monday.

Bob was passionate about his cattle and the land he farmed. He enjoyed cards, going to wedding dances and watching westerns. Bob also enjoyed spending time with Donna and family, relaxing and socializing over the day’s events.

Bob was preceded in death by his first wife, Dorothy on October 26, 1973; his parents, Felix on August 6, 1984 and Lena on July 20, 1973; his sister, Alice Rilinger on November 14, 2000; and his brothers, Roland on September 6, 1999 and LeRoy on August 5, 1987.

Bob is survived by his wife Donna; his daughter, Monica (Don) Cooley of Bonner Springs; his son, Martin (Jana) Stallbaumer of Merriam; a brother, Lyle Stallbaumer of Seneca; and four grandchildren, Levi and Milo Cooley and Alanna and Harper Stallbaumer.

The burial will be in the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery, next to his first wife Dorothy, in Seneca.

Memorials can be given in Robert’s memory to Coins for a Cause or Nemaha Valley Community Hospital and sent in care of the family.

    My condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. Losing someone you love is truly difficult and I know Robert will be missed. Please know our Heavenly Father holds out promises that can help us with our sorrow. One such promise is that death soon will be done away with forever (Revelation 21:4) and another promise is that “there is going to be a resurrection.” (Acts 24:15). I pray these promises from God, who cannot lie, (Titus 1:2) brings you comfort. For more comfort from the Bible visit www . jw . org.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I too have recently lost my loved one in death. This loss can be so overwhelming. Fortunately, I found comfort in God’s promise that one day I would see my dear loved one again. (John 5:28,29) May God give you the peace & comfort you need at this difficult time. (Philippians 4:6,7)
