Robert Lewis Geske of Waco passed away March 11th, 2021. Visitation will be 6-7 pm Thursday, March 18, at OakCrest Funeral Home followed by a service at 7 p.m.
Bob was born June 22, 1948 in Breckenridge, Texas to Everett and Frances (Lewis) Geske. Bob graduated from Hamilton High School in 1966. He served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War.
After being Honorably Discharged from the Air Force, he met and then married Karen Anderson on December 19, 1970. He graduated from Tarleton State University in December 1977 with a Business Degree in Accounting. Bob worked for State Farm Insurance in Waco for 26 years and retired in 2004.
Bob enjoyed coaching his children in baseball and softball. He never missed a game, choir or band concert of his children and then later of his grandchildren. Bob was incredibly supportive of his children, their friends, their spouses, and his grandchildren.
Bob loved sitting on the beach in Destin, watching Texas Rangers, Nascar, the Dallas Cowboys, and loved listening to music. He enjoyed playing "Guess this Tune" with his kids in the car on long trips. He had an "open door" policy to all who knew him and he was always happy to help anyone out who needed it. His grandchildren meant everything to him and he was always happy to have his children and grandkids around him. He loved his sons in law and daughter in law as his own and was happiest when his family was together.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents and brother.
