Robert Reck Obituary

Uncle Bobby, as my daughter Casey called him when she was four-years old, hanging onto his arm inside Berghoff's Restaurant, was an inspiration and a delight. Bob was so witty and fun to be around. His love of reading and classical music was profound. He always had a smile and an interesting story. (He had assumed he owned the hind quarters of that racing horse: Father Reck.) Everybody in California always knew his grand-daughters' grades, in every class as they were growing up(usually all A's). Besides a true member of The Greatest Generation, I kept telling him he's raising the bar too high on life expectancy: 95, 96, 97, 98. I couldn't imagine past 80. When Connor was little, we were watching Indiana Jones, and Connor asked: Did Uncle Bob fight in the war against those guys? We can go on and on about Bob. He will be with us forever.

Uncle Bob was truly a great man and an inspiration to all of us. His appreciation of the arts, his positive attitude, and his love of life are something we could all try to emulate. I hope I can get close to living up to the standards set by my namesake.

Sorry to learn of Bob's passing.Sincere condolences to all his family.Iwas his customer for many years and always looked forward to a friendly and often helpful chat.He was a great problem solver of things mechanical.Bob was very proud of his daughter and her equestrian skills.Wish my daughters had turned out half as well.Once I went to vegas and he asked me to bet $20.00 for him.You can imagine his surprise when I gave him over $100.00 upon my return.Bob was a damn good guy and I will keep him in my prayers always.Ed the Carpenter P.S. It is people like him that keep me believing there is still goodness in the world

Bob was truly one of "The Greatest Generation". He was kind and one of a kind. and will be remembered always. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
