Riley and served in Korea on the DMZ. His service record was recognized by receiving several achievement medals as well as being rated expert with the M-16 rifle and hand grenade.
Following the military Bob attended Northern State University in Aberdeen for one year and worked at Control Data. He also worked at Mott’s Aerial Spraying in Mobridge. Bob then shared his culinary skills working as a cook in Aberdeen, Spokane, Wash., on a fishing boat off Alaska, Mahto, Rick’s Café, the Mobridge Care Center and the Windjammer. Bob started working in the dietary department at Mobridge Regional Hospital in 2000 where he continued his employment until the time of his death. He was dedicated to his responsibilities and enjoyed preparing meals for the patients, Prairie Sunset Village residents and the staff.
He is survived by his brothers, Rick and Steve of Mobridge, and Jeff (Marlene) of Pollock; his sisters, Ginger (Bob Webb) Christman of Spokane, Diane Christman of Mobridge, Mary Leuning and Connie Larsen of Owatonna, Minn., and Nancy (Tom) Hepper of Wing, N.D.; sister-in-law, Judy Christman of Maryville, Tenn.; 14 nieces and nephews and four great-nieces and nephews.
