Robert G. Lehr, 83, of Lisbon, Iowa, passed away Thursday, Dec. 12, at the Oldorf Hospice House of Mercy in Hiawatha. Funeral Services are 11 a.m. today (Thursday, Dec. 19) at Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services in Mount Vernon. Visitation from 9:30 a.m. until service time. Burial: Lisbon Cemetery.

Survivors include his wife of 61 years, Marcia; daughter, Tami (Derek) Sanders; granddaughter, Alex Sanders; sister, Susan Beres; sister-in-law, Norma Abbott; brother-in-law, Melvin Stout; and a niece and seven nephews.

Bob was born Aug. 24, 1941, in Cedar Rapids, the son of Glenn and Elizabeth (Kohl) Lehr. He graduated from Lisbon High School in 1959. On Oct. 19, 1963, he married Marcia Reyhons at Federated Church in Lisbon. Bob was a lifelong proud farmer continuing to be outside tinkering and looking after things long after retirement.

He enjoyed bowling in his younger days, playing Euchre whenever possible, and taking in a Swisher Sweet and Busch Lite. He’d walk into any room with his Bobby smile and a story to tell. He will be remembered for his ‘neighborhood patrol’ and love for family.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents; son, Gary Robert Lehr; sister, JoAnn Stout; brothers-in-law, Roger (Lou Ann) Reyhons; Dennis Hampton, Mike Beres, and Tom Abbott; and nephews, Kevin Westfall and Bobby Westfall.

Memorials may be directed to the Oldorf Hospice House, Mechanicsville Ambulance, or the charity of your choice.
