Robert J. Blowers A fine man, a
great dad, a devoted husband, and a loving grandpa. Robert J. Blowers, "Bob", passed from this
life on Tuesday December 22nd, 2020 from complications due to
COVID-19.
Born in Kansas City, KS in 1935, he was raised
in the iconic suburban community of Prairie Village. Youngest child to John and Anne, little
brother to Betty and Mary, Husband to Zandra Baumeister, Father to Tammy,
Bobby, Pamela, Shawn, John and Samm.
Baptized a Catholic. Raised a Catholic. Lived a Catholic. Died a Catholic. Resting eternally in the arms of Jesus.
Family was the
pride and joy of his life. Never a
weekend passed without a camping, sailing, or partying adventure. Summer vacations at the Jersey Shore. Wedding feasts and festivals. Birthday celebrations into the night. Dutifully providing.
Career was the
expression of his great gifts. 55 years
as a sales professional with the Anheuser Busch companies and Eagle Baking
Products. Always open to an
opportunity. St Louis to Boston. Boston to New York. New York to Philadelphia. Philadelphia to Lancaster. Giving all for his clients.
Humor was his
language of love. Warm and gregarious to
the end. Most whom he met walked away
laughing and smiling. A jokester with an
ironic wit and a twinkle in his eye. Finding fun in every situation.
Marriage was
his life's calling. 63 years as a
husband and a lover of his high school sweetheart. They spent a lifetime building intimacy into
everything they did. Holidays, travel,
entertaining, church, found them bound together as one. Rarely Bob or Zandra most always "Mom and
Dad".
Through his
great love, generations will carry on his legacy: Tammy wife of Ron Yarnell. Bob husband of Megan. Pamela wife of Roland Yunginger. Shawn wife of Mark Conley. John husband of Lisa. Samantha wife of Dave Ernst.
