Robert was born to Frank and Victoria Dolezal on January 28th, 1930 in Perry OK.
Robert proudly served as First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force from 1950 to 1956, both in the US and in Europe. He proudly saluted each and every flag he saw during the later years of his life.
Robert worked for 30 years as an engineer and an economic evaluation specialist in the chemical industry for Dow Chemical.
Robert graduated from Oklahoma State University with a bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering. As the father in a household with nine children, he loved to take his family to the beach, camping and fishing, typically allowing his kids to bring a few extra friends as well. Bob was very laid back and usually saw the humor in things where others might miss it. He loved to collect guns and to go shoot or hunt but primarily enjoyed the time spent with family throughout the process. He always saw the beauty in nature and enjoyed time spent admiring God’s handiwork. Robert was a member of the Lakeway singalong group and performed in the chorus as well as solos from time to time. He was always a good sport and willing to don the latest costume to play whatever role was requested. At the age of 90, Bob remained commited to his workout regime and would do leg lifts and situps as well as other exercises. He often amazed men much younger by his abilities. Robert grew up on a farm in Perry, OK and used his vacation when his father was still active on the farm to help with harvest each year. Robert was well liked by all that knew him and extremely loved by his rather large family. He will be greatly missed.
