“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now, there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day.”  II Timothy 4: 7, 8 Born on December 20, 1934 in Lowell, Michigan, Bob was a graduate of Lowell High School and Michigan State University, and proudly served in the United States Air Force from 1954 until being honorably discharged in 1958.

He also loved the outdoors, and was an avid fisherman and hunter in his younger years, which evolved into simply enjoying the wildlife that grazed in his backyard. Preceded in death by his parents, John and Mable Topp, and brothers Roger and John, Bob is survived by his wife, Verna Mae, children Pamela (Burton), Kurt, and Michelle (Duryea), stepchildren Joanne (Sadler), Christine (Lindahl), and Jeffrey Massey, 11 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Bob was a member of the Bethel Mission Church of Wallace, and will truly be missed by all who knew him for love, support and generosity. The family wishes to extend a special thanks to UP Health System Home Care & Hospice. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” PS 226:15
