Robert Alexander Meisner entered heaven on Sunday, February 10, 2019. Robert was born February 22, 1930 in Windsor, Colorado to Carl and Molly Meisner; it was his Mother’s birthday. He was preceded in death by his mother Amalia (Molly), his father Carl and his sister Louise and four other siblings that died at birth. His vision of heaven was a farm with rolling hills, meadows with horses and cows, and his dog Rover. His mother had the same heavenly vision minus Rover; they are now together.
In March, 1949, Robert married Marilyn Kirk and they had 5 children. Catherine Louise (aka Cathy), Louana Jean (aka Jeannie), Robert Roy (aka Robbie) born on his father’s birthday February 22, Jack Duane (aka Jackie) born on February 4, Kirk Lynn (aka Kirkie) also born on his father’s birthday February 22. Robert’s greatest passion in life was his job as a law enforcement officer. He began his career with Greeley PD in 1957 to 1961 and then beginning in 1965 worked as a Deputy for the Arizona Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office until his retirement in 1987. After retirement, he worked as a State of Arizona Capitol Police officer for three years until he began his life of leisure.
Robert was married several times in his life; he just seemed to always be looking beyond what he had.
He is survived by many blessings: 5 children: Cathy Horst, who was his greatest caregiver throughout the last 20 years, Jean Yarbrough, Rob Meisner and his wife Charlotte, Jack Meisner and Deb, Kirk Meisner and his wife Kathy 7 Grandchildren: Tyler Yarbrough and his wife Lisa, Nikki Jaconelli and her husband Paul, Scot Horst and partner Jen, Brent Horst, Ethan Meisner, Troy Meisner, Eric Meisner
