Bob was born August 24, 1936 at Boulder, Colorado to Lawrence and Agnes Keuter. He attended school in Sutherland before graduating from Longmont High School in Colorado.
In 1947, Bob entered the U.S. Air Force where he served in Korea. While serving in the Armed Forces he met his wife, Carolyn Jackson, and the two were married eight months later. Their union was blessed with 4 children, William A., Robert B., Mike D. and Debra K. The couple resided in Colorado, where Bob worked a bread route. Then they moved to California where he worked in shipping and receiving at the Diamond Walnut Company for over 20 years. Bob later worked in the bakery at King Supers in Colorado for several years before retiring and moving back to California.
Bob had a good heart, and was always willing to help his family and friends when called upon. He enjoyed fishing and taking long drives, which was how he ended up living in Brule. He also loved carpentry and working with his hands.
