Robert “Bob” John Holbert was born on October 7, 1940, in Holyoke, MN, to Howard and Hilma (Pierson) Holbert. He moved with his family to Amherst, SD, where he attended grade school and later graduated from Britton High School in 1958. After graduation, he joined the US Navy.
In 1963, Bob married his best friend, Marilyn Sigaty, and together they owned numerous businesses, from restaurants to lawn service and many more. They enjoyed wintering in Arizona.
Bob was an avid sports fan. He could talk about any player and any team, regardless of the sport – football, softball, baseball, basketball, male or female. Bob coached both his daughter’s and son’s softball teams, bringing both teams to championship wins.
Left to cherish Bob’s memories are his wife and best friend of 62 years, Marilyn; daughter, Treava; son, Thomas (Liza); grandchildren, Laura, Marshall, Alexis, Gabbi, Brenden, and Peyton; great-grandchildren, Colter, Kenleigh, Evelyn, Clara, Flora, and Russell; brother, Charles; sister, Maggie; and many nieces and nephews.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Hilma; sisters, Martha, Eleanor, Helen, Betty, Florence, and Lorna; and brothers, Howard, Richard, William, and Eric.
So Sorry for your loss!!
