Our Heavenly Father enfolded Bob in His loving arms and called him home on December 25, 2014, at Circle of Life Hospice Home at Legacy Village in Bentonville, AR.
He was born on January 9, 1928, in Coffeyville, KS, the fifth child of Gay H. Brokaw and Lois W. (Webber) Brokaw.

He served in the United States Navy during WWII, and later earned a degree in Business Administration at the University of Kansas in 1957. For the major part of his career, Bob worked in the field of insurance for credit unions, retiring in 1990 as District Vice President for CUNA Mutual Insurance Society.
