A memorial service for Bob will be held at Zoeller Funeral Home in New Braunfels at 11:00 am on Wednesday, June 25th, with Deacon Ben Wehman presiding.

Bob was born on August 1st, 1922 in South San Antonio, Texas to Rudy and Kuma (Moallankamp) Freimuth. Bob's father was a salesman for a number of car dealerships scattered across the USA, thus Bob was raised in various areas of the country. Places as diverse as New Orleans, Detroit, and Paris, Texas were all home to him at one time or another. He married Rosemary Pollok in San Antonio on October 2nd, 1948. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II, and was a proud recipient of the Purple Heart. Once the war was over, Bob pursued a career in radio broadcasting, and found success in the news departments at stations in Victoria, Houston, San Antonio, and finally KGNB-KNBT in New Braunfels, where he would work until he retired. Bob was a member of several civic organizations, including the Optimist Club and the Knights of Columbus. In his spare time, Dad enjoyed building model airplanes, listening to Big Band music, (with the occasional Johnny Cash thrown in), and spending time with his family.

Bob is survived by his wife, Rosemary; son Ted; and daughter-in-law Jan. He was preceded in death by his parents Rudy and Kuma; and his sister Virginia.
