ROBERT "BOB" J. MUSSACK was born October 28, 1950, to Gordon and Erma (Alexander) Mussack.  He passed away Friday, January 2, 2015, at CHI Health Lakeside Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, at the age of 64.

Bob grew up in the Decatur/Tekamah area.  He graduated from Decatur High School in 1969 and went on to further his education at Wayne State College and Northeast Tech Community College.

On August 23rd, 1969, Bob married the love of his life Cindy Penny, in Decatur, Nebraska.  To this union two sons were born, Jeff and Jason.  Bob and Cindy lived most of their lives in Omaha.

Bob loved spending time with family, especially with his grandkids.  At a young age, Bob began taking fishing trips to Minnesota with his family and friends.  These trips meant so much to Bob, that he carried on the tradition taking Minnesota fishing trips with his own children.  He and Cindy continued yearly trips through 2014 and he passed on the love of fishing to his grandchildren.  He was a positive person, always encouraging others and putting their needs before his own. 

Bob lettered in high school sports, including football, basketball and track.  He earned several awards, medals, and trophies that are still displayed in the Decatur Town Hall trophy cases.

He worked at Leo A. Daly architectural firm in Omaha for over 38 years.
