Bob was born and raised in Philadelphia, and resided in several states before settling in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts for 35 years. He was very proud of his time in the United States Marine Corps, having started at Parris Island and retiring as a Captain, before starting a long career in warehousing and distribution management. Bob was a lifelong reader, became a prolific painter in retirement, enjoyed spending winters in Gulf Shores, Alabama and was tireless in his efforts to gather donations for our soldiers serving overseas.
He is survived by his daughter, Karen (Paul) Dahlquist; son Kenneth (Essie) Oetting; son Kirk Oetting; son Todd (Lisa) Oetting; seven grandchildren, and many more family members and close friends. He will be interred beside his wife, Joni, at the Great Lakes National Cemetery on August 26th.
