Uncle Bob left us
wonderful memories:
his love of cars (Fords,
of course!), his attention
to details (hanging the
Christmas lights exactly
the same distance apart
on the trees), his love of
the same breakfast foods
every day (oatmeal, banana, roll and coffee), his passion
for the color blue and his love for Doris. He served in
the US Coast Guard from May 1943 to April 1946 as a
Lookout Mate on NAS Whidbey Island in Puget Sound
and on the LST 170 (Landing Ship Tank) in the South
Pacific. He worked as a semi-tractor driver for UPS
for over 40 years. He was honored as the number one
driver in Denver when he retired. He was a member of
the Central States Teamsters. Bob was born in Denver
to Charlie B. and Frances Helen (DeBoer) Cassell and
raised on a farm on the outskirts of Denver. He moved
to Parachute in 2019 and lived with his nephew Steve
and wife Judy. He spent his last days at Hope West. He
is preceded in death by his parents; wife, Doris and
siblings, Dorothy, Evelyn, Georgia, Callie, Virginia,
Ralph, Betty and Hazel. He is survived by numerous
nieces and nephews. Funeral arrangements are being
made by Fairmount Funeral Home and Cemetery. A
service will be held January 27 at 10 a.m. Interment will
be 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be
made to Hope West in Grand Junction, Charles Robert
(Bob) Cassell.
