He was born
in Keokuk, where he fell in love with and married
his childhood sweetheart, Norma, and was a football standout for Keokuk High School. Shortly after graduating, he traveled to Washington, D.C., to work in the War Department at the Pentagon during World War II. He then eagerly joined the Seabees as part of the Navy. He was shipped out on the USS Zeilin, a transporter, where he served meritoriously with the Pacific Fleet. Bob returned to the U.S. victoriously in 1945, having survived several Kamikaze attacks. With a dearth of finances, yet an abundance of steadfastness, he moved after the war to the Chicago area, where he eventually joined Cardox/Chemetron Corp. as a salesman.
His strong work ethic earned him a promotion to the East, where he purchased a house for his family in Cherry Hill, N.J. In 1971, he earned another promotion back to the Chicago area, settling in Darien, Ill. There, he served with the nations first Rotary Club. His extraordinary integrity and diligence eventually earned him a final promotion and relocation to the San Francisco Bay area as a vice president for the same company, now acquired by Liquid Air Corp., until his retirement in 1991 after 38 years of service.
Bob and his wife resided in Walnut Creek, Calif., for 26 years. He lived as an honorable man and generous provider for his family, with unwavering character in all things. It is said everyone liked Bob because of his affable nature and his genuine respect and caring for others. His legacy includes his authored book, The Oldham-Renard: Keokuk Connection (located on Amazon.com), and his soon to be published book, In the Beginning, detailing the Oldham and Kay family genealogy from its earliest known origin. We will miss our husbands, fathers, grandfathers and friends constancy of love. His sparkling wit, wisdom, dedication, interest in others and self-taught intellect will always be remembered, along with his uplifting smile and those ocean blue eyes of kindness. A more virtuous man we have never known.
