Robert "Bob" Pritchard Jr. was received into Heaven on Jauary 28, 2019. Services will be held Friday, February 1st at 10:30 a.m. at Grace Lutheran Church in Pleasanton.
Bob was born April 29, 1942 to Robert Sr. and Helen Olga Jones Pritchard. He was baptized at a young age at the Pleasant Valley Church. Bob attended the Pleasant Valley District 57 until the sixth grade, finishing his education at Pleasanton where he was graduated in 1960. He was united in marriage to Iva J. Hawkins on June 6, 1962. They lived the majority of their married lives on the homestead "in the valley", happily married for 56 years. To This blessed union, two sons and two daughters were born: Todd, Joni, Scott and Angie. He was never more proud then when he was with his family--children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. Bob and Iva made their living farming and ranching. The Pritchard name is more than just a name--it was and is a legacy, a way of life. Bob and Iva passed this along to each one of their kids, and Bob made sure each one of them knew not only how to work hard, but also how to play hard. He was a man of few words, kind heart, contagious smile, and unyielding patience. In his spare time, he enjoyed coyote hunting and any sports that his kids, grandkids, nieces, and nephews were involved in. As a matter of fact, he was at a basketball game cheering on his grandson about 6 weeks before his passing.
After retiring from farming /ranching, he continued to help his son on the farm and worked at Trotter's in Pleasanton until a couple years ago. Old farm boys just can't retire fully.
Left to cherish the many memories they have made with Bob are his devoted wife, Iva; son Todd and Karen (Eckhout) Pritchard, Pleasanton; daughter Joni and Kevin Mayfield, Wood River; son Scott Pritchard and daughter Angie and Tim Baillie, all of Pleasanton. Bob is also survived by his siblings, sister June and Norman Hand, sister Delda Johnson, sister Corene and Errol Phillips, sister Corliss and Phil Dixon, and brother Brian and Hope Pritchard, all of Pleasanton. Grand children and great-grandchildren left to live the Pritchard legacy are Kyle and Jenna James Pritchard and their children Rykan, Sawyer and Waylon, Pleasanton; Brady and Heather (Sorensen) Pritchard and their children Emma, Jonnie Lou and Baby Boy P (due in March); Ethan and Tori Teter and their child Tucker, Fremont; Trent Pritchard, Pleasanton; Carissa Teter, Hershey; Caleb Pritchard, Pleasanton; Amanda Baillie, Pleasanton and Fiance Dakota Fitzgerald; Autumn Pritchard, Pleasanton; Tyler Baillie, Pleasanton. Bob will be mourned by many nieces, nephews and friends as well. Bob never knew a stranger.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, sister Carolyn Pritchard, and grandson Blake Teter.
