Bob was raised in El Segundo, California and graduated ES High class of ‘65. He spent every free hour fishing off the pier or Redondo Beach barge. He worked in the IT industry but his heart was woodworking. He and his family moved to Whidbey Island, Washington, in 1998 where he started his own cabinet shop. He loved the peacefulness, privacy, and freedom of his 15-acre farm. He worked hard, could fix anything, remodeled every place he ever owned, and other people’s too, yet never complained about his chronic pain from ankylosing spondylitis. He died from complications of a stroke. He is remembered as a great dad who homeschooled his girls to success, empowering them with character and skills for life, teaching them to be good and do good to others. He cultivated and valued lasting friendships, most for many decades. He was a cool dude, generous, willing to help anyone who asked. He loved his wife, family and country, but hated politicians. He was loved and admired by many. Preceding in death were Bob’s parents Rex and Lu Neschke. Bob is survived by Pamela (Fry) Neschke; They wed at St. John’s Lutheran in El Segundo 38 years ago. Together they welcomed into the world the two loves of his life: beautiful, amazing daughters, Alison and Kate, who married incredible young men, sons-in-law Will and Brian. They graced him with his new loves: granddaughters Athena, Sterling, and Elle. They all proved to be very good medicine for Bob. Enjoy your new body, Bob.
