SCHWANBECK, Robert Earl

Daily Miner, Kingman, Arizona - Posted on May 8, 2018 - Bob gained his “forever wings” on April 27, 2018, in Bullhead City, Arizona.

Bob served in the Korean War for the U.S. Air Force under SAC 67th BOMB SQ and was a proud lifetime member of the VFW POST 10005. He was a founding member of the B.P.O.E. in Bullhead City. A lifelong Arizonian, Bob loved to be outdoors. He could be found fishing, hunting, exploring or just tinkering around. He was a humble honest hardworking man, who made deals with a shake of hand and held you by the words you said.
