Robert George Beyer was born on May is, 1942 in Wheaton to George and

Lydia (Raguse) Beyer. He was baptized on June 21, 1942 at St. Paul's Lutheran

Church, Taylor Township and was also confirmed there on April 3, 1955. Bob

attended District 44 Elementary school in Taylor Township (which he recently

helped restore) and graduated from Tintah High School.

On December 3, 1967 Bob was married to Darlene (Toepke) at Trinity

Lutheran Church in Bloomington, Illinois. The couple made their home in

Taylor Township, residing in several locations near family farm sites. In recent

years they also enjoyed spending time together at their second house on

South Turtle Lake. When St. Paul's Church closed in 1975, Bob and Darlene

joined the sister congregation at Immanuel Lutheran Church.

Bob was dedicated to farming his entire life. He started farming with his

father George at an early age and continued in farm activities until his last

year. His favorite time away from his family was in the combine', and he

assisted son Rodd with harvests even through retirement. Bob had many

related talents and interests including acting as a licensed commodities broker

with business in Fergus Falls and later in Wheaton. He was an original

shareholder in MinnDak Coop Sugar Factory, and farming beets was an

important part of his life.

Bob spent much time serving others in his life. Bob was proudly serving in

the National Guard when he met Darlene in Minot, North Dakota. Bob served

as an elder and then as congregational chairman for many years at Immanuel

Lutheran Church. He served for eighteen years on the Traverse County Coop

Board. He also served on the Traverse County Farm Bureau Board where he

also was a salesman for Trojan Corn and Safemark Tires and Oil.

Bob was an avid fisherman, enjoying his time with friends and family on

many fishing trips and days on South Turtle with his grandchildren in

retirement. He also expressed his creativity and artistic nature through

woodworking and was able to share his creations with many. Always intrigued

with airplanes and flight, Bob built and flew RC planes with friends for many

years as part ofthe Black Sheep RC Club in Wheaton. He thoroughly enjoyed

playing cards with family and friends throughout his life, and he especially

loved playing with his grandchildren.

Bob will be missed greatly by his family who were blessed to have him in

our lives.
