Robert (Bob) Jesse Helt was born on December 28, 1929 in North Platte, NE. He was the oldest of the three sons of Raymond and Frances Helt. He passed on November 29, 2019 peacefully in his home, in Aurora, Colorado. He was 89 years old.
Bob grew up in Nebraska, but while still young, his family moved to the Denver area. He served in the U.S. Navy. Hard-working and talented, Bob had a variety of occupations. His main career was in Aerospace engineering, but he also worked in Real Estate as a broker and salesman. He was a gifted electrician and handyman, and could tackle any project. He loved "over the road" trips and enjoyed many adventures in his RV van with wife Julie, and whatever dog he had at the time. Most of all, he was a dedicated family man, his time with his family was the most important thing in his life.
Bob was well known for his great sense of humor and his positive outlook on life. His faith was central to his life, he enjoyed attending Colorado Community Church and being part of, and leading, a small group Bible Study. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Bob was survived by his wife of 34 years, Julia (Julie) Helt; 2 children; Barbara (Jim) Sieke of Lakewood, Colorado and Sharon (Brad) Johnson of Spooner, Wisconsin; 5 stepchildren; Joe Trollinger of Aurora, Colorado; Tim (Linda) Trollinger of Mary Esther, Florida; Linda Koch of Broomfield, Colorado; Jerry Trollinger of Aurora, Colorado and Theresa Trollinger of Phoenix, Arizona; 14 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
