Robert Carl Becker

He was born in Spokane, grew up in Hillyard and enjoyed lots of time on Peone Prairie. He graduated from Rogers High School in 1965.

After graduation he volunteered for service in the Army. He served in Vietnam with the First Infantry Division known as the Big Red One. After an honorable discharge he returned home and began his career with WWP/Avista in the Construction and Maintenance Department, building and maintaining substations until his retirement.

He spent his free time traveling the US from substation to substation and coffee shop to coffee shop on his motorcycle and in his favorite old red Toyota as evidenced by his many, many, many pictures of substations.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Frieda and Carl Becker. He is survived by his children, Mike and Scheryl; his sisters, Darlane (Sander) and Pam (Morris); his grandchildren, great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, neighbors and Aunt Vera.

The family would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to the staff and owners at Ponderosa Adult Family Home for their loving care and friendship.

In lieu of flowers and cards, please make a donation to Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Spokane, and whenever possible give a veteran your support.

The family plans a private memorial to celebrate Bob’s life at a later date.
