Robert “Bob” Kiesel was born and raised in Valley Stream, New York. The farm he grew up on is what now Valley Stream State Park is. He married the love of his life, Beverly “Bev” Peterson of Windsor, Colorado on June 26, 1954. Bob was in the Air Force, stationed at FE Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY after serving in Korea. Bob and Bev met while cruising with friends on 8th Avenue in Greeley, Colorado and the rest is history.
Bob retired from Colorado State University in January 1992 after nearly 30 years of service. He began his CSU career at the Engineering Research Center (ERC) on the foothills campus and spent his last number of years serving as the Shop Foreman in the Mechanical Engineering machine shop on the main campus.
Bob was the proud father of three: Dan (Debbie) Kiesel of Thornton, CO; Penny Ummel (Ronald) of Loveland, CO; and Randy (Patricia) Kiesel of Chandler, AZ.
He also found much joy in his 12 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
