Bob was born on September 10, 1939 in Quartz Hill, CA to John and Faye (Sullivan) Mitchell. Bob was one of five children. Bob proudly served his country as a staff sergeant in the United States Air Force. Following his service career, Bob worked as a mechanic for most of his life. Bob married the love of his life, Charlene “Char” Marie Almli, on August 22, 1980. Together they raised their daughter, Corie in Sultan, Washington where they lived together for the past 38 years.
Bob had a passion for four-wheelers and “tinkering” in his shop. He was always adventurous and loved the outdoors. Bob and Char enjoyed gardening on their property. He was known for his generosity, humor and quick wit, but mostly his admirable strength. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

He also leaves his son, Jeffrey, daughter, Valerie, granddaughters Ella, Lisa, Jessica and Carrie and grandson, Brian.
