Obituary
Robert Arthur Neumann ("Bob"), 66, passed on to eternal life on April 28th, 2015 at the Eckstein Center Hospice of the Valley in Scottsdale, AZ after a brief battle with cancer.
He was born on June 24, 1948 in Fergus Falls, MN to parents Amy Neumann and Kenneth Neumann where he graduated high school. He attended the University of North Dakota; in 1970, he married Lana Spranger and became an officer in the US Army. He served his country honorably in the Ordnance Corps, retiring from the service in 1990 having attained the rank of Major. He earned the Expert Rifle Badge M-16, National Defense Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Parachute Badge, and the Joint Service Commendation Medal.
During his years of active duty military service, Bob moved many times and was stationed in Alaska, New York City, and Germany. His daughter, Allison, was born in 1975 in New York City and son, Trevor, was born in 1978 while stationed in Germany. He then joined the Army Reserves and the private sector where he became a Financial Executive for a variety of companies.
During his business career, he was active in his children's sporting events, namely the high school ski team where he would bring food and support the whole team every Saturday in the winter months. Upon retirement in 2008, Bob fulfilled his wanderlust by purchasing an RV and a motorcycle. For three years he crisscrossed the country visiting family, friends, and seeking out the beauty of this country. In 2010, after heart surgery, he settled in one locale per year while still motorcycling and traveling extensively. He briefly lived in Sandestin, FL, Charlottesville, VA, and Hickory, NC. Once his illness became acute, he lived with his brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Debbie, in Scottsdale, AZ where he sought treatment.
Bob is preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Neumann, on January 8, 2014, and mother, Amy Neumann, on December 13, 2003. Bob is survived by his beloved children, Trevor Neumann of New York, NY and Allison Neumann of La Jolla, CA; brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Debbie Neumann of Scottsdale, AZ; cousins Paul Neumann and wife, Suzy Neumann, Lisa (Neumann) Simmons; and first cousins (once removed), Jean Blondeau and Marcia Kraut.
The family requests those in attendance dress in casual summer attire, and, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Bob's name to the Wounded Warrior Project at http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org, an organization that Bob proudly supported.
Memorial Service: 10:30 AM Saturday, August 15, 2015 at Glende-Nilson Funeral Home, Fergus Falls.
Interment: Knollwood Memorial Gardens, Fergus Falls
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.
