He was born 6/21/1939 in Flint Michigan to Robert and Maida Gaefcke. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1958 / 1961. He is survived by his wife Susan Gaefcke, Daughters Dawna Gaefcke (Chris), Robin Berliew (Gene), two sisters, Dodee LeSuer and Pam Richardson (Elmer), his grand daughter Chellie Gaefcke, two grandsons Mason Gaefcke and Cameron Gaefcke, and two great grand sons Haydin Hart and Max Woods. Robert was a wise and generous man who loved and cherished his family. He was our protector. He enjoyed the outdoors, BBQ, bowling, vacationing, and just being surrounded by family and good friends. Most of all he loved to sit out on the patio overlooking the beautiful mountains drinking his coffee while reading the paper. When the smiling face of a passer by could mean the highlight if his day.
