Robert “Bob” Teschner passed away peacefully August 29, 2024.The youngest of 10 siblings. He was born to Charles Adolf and Flossie (Hazelwood) Teschner on March 27, 1932.
He attended Hosea Elementary and Benton High School. He joined the military service as a Marine, a Korean war veteran. Bob served his country as a radio operator and proud to be the “first to fight and Semper Fidelis.” His lifetime buddies included Gene Hook, Lowell Scholfield (MIA) and Leo Sexton who he shared many memories. He of course enjoyed many hours of fishing with his buddy Louis Glaub.
On November 14, 1952 he married Shirley Kennedy of which they raised two sons Rob and Randy. Always kind and selfless, he was always there for anyone in need.
As a self-employed carpenter, his hands were gifted by God to create nothing less than magic. A lover of the outdoors, fishing was his passion, making many trips to his happy place in Minnesota catching countless walleye. Always on the lake first to get the great catch of the day. After the catch, he relaxed with his beverage of choice - Hamms beer.

You are gone from our sight, but not from the memories in our hearts. You are sadly missed!
Believe in the promise of each day and remember the beauty of a single moment - Life is too precious.
