Bob graduated from North High in Denver, CO in 1960. Upon graduation he served in the United States Marine Corp for eight years. After his Honorable Discharge, he started his own trucking company and loved to brag how he had driven through all 50 states! Bob sold his company and spent the next 35 years working as a lineman for Public Service Company. If you lost power in a storm, you had Bob to thank for restoring your power in blizzard conditions.
Once retired, Bob spent his time serving others doing missionary work all over the world. In Brazil he cleared five acres with a single machete and brought in electrical power for a local orphanage. Bob traveled to Jerusalem, Israel to work in a food bank, extending the reach of the local organization bringing food to the needy, all told he traveled to Israel five times. His next service project brought him to Mexico where he assisted in building a church for a local village. His love of service to country and community brought him to volunteer with the local Police and Sheriff Departments. He was a graduate of the Arvada Citizens Police Academy, Wheatridge Police Citizens Academy and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Citizens Academy. He was known for his servants heart both abroad and at home. You could always find him serving his community, friends and neighbors.
Bob was survived by his wife, Christyne Repp. He was also survived by his daughters Mitzi Staufer in San Francisco, CA. Michelle Repp in Berwyn, IL. Jeni Repp Olsen in Wheatridge, CO.
