Robin Woodrow Lettelleir

Robin was a retired City of Bloomington Firefighter. During his 32 year career, he held several positions including firefighter, engineer, and chauffeur. Robin was on the first team when the Fire Department took over the ambulance service from the Police Department in 1972. Robin realized his dream when he was promoted to sergeant, qualifying him to drive the fire trucks and manage the pumper. He fought several major fires including Ralph Rogers Building Supply, Wegmiller-Bender, and the Harris Grand Theatre. Robin kept everyone laughing with his pranks and stories which made the job fun. Robin was always on the job, and ready to help. Fellow firefighters enjoyed his cooking, especially his fried chicken.

Robin was born and raised in Bloomington. He graduated from Bloomington High School and was a B-Man in track. He joined the Army National Guard in 1964. Working at several area stone mills, including Woolery and Bybee Stone Companies, Robin joined his father, Taylor, cutting limestone for many years.

Robin leaves behind his wife, Betsy (Barr) Lettelleir; two daughters, Kim Lettelleir Patterson and Amy Lettelleir, both of Bloomington; one son, Ty Lettelleir, of Bloomington; four grandchildren, Sean Patterson, Nick Patterson, Jaden Lettelleir and Lauryn Lettelleir; a sister, Janet Lettelleir Underwood, of Bloomington and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters, Shirley Watson, Carolyn Owens, and Roselyn Nichter; brothers, David Lettelleir and Bill Lettelleir, and wife, Judy Lettelleir McClurg; and nephew, Scott Raper.

A memorial service will be held at 6:00 P.M. Wednesday at Day Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Harold Godsey officiating. Friends may visit the family on Wednesday from 3:00 to 6:00 P.M. and immediately following the service.
