Robert Grim

After his service, Bob became a 2nd generation drilling contractor and consultant.

Whether drilling for treasures from the ground such as oil and gas, ground water supplies, and host of other minerals such as uranium, copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc across the lower 48 and Alaska, Bob loved sharing happy anecdotes about his friends, serving in the Airforce, being a fireman on the railroad, a badged fireman in the community, or fellowship spent with his Masonic Brethren; he, like “Will Rogers”, was very magnanimous and met very few people he didn’t like.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Love and Life partner Mary Niggemeyer, brothers Lou, Lee, Roger, Grant and Paul Grim, sisters Ruth and Susan Grim, Arlene Hoopes and former wife Molly.
