He was born March 7, 1932 to the late Arthur and Anna (Rabe) Neumann on a farm in Denison, Iowa.

Bob met his wife, Shirley at the roller-skating rink. They were married in 1955 and moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Bob worked in Sales with Fairmont Foods, Butternut Bread and Old Home, before retiring in 1994.
