Robert Raymond Reis
November 22, 1927 — February 21, 2016
ROCHESTER - Bob Reis passed away February 21, 2016, with his living angel, Linda Hyde, by his side. His four children Mhdlon (Byron Mozis), Lynn (David Stalker), Robert Reis (Lily,) and Pennie (Joe Eisenbeis) were able to spend Bob's final days with him, reminiscing and affirming to their father the wonderful legacy he leaves.
Born in St. Louis, MO, Bob enlisted in the Navy at the age of 18. His many duties as a sailor included the upkeep of his battleship's grey painted exterior. From that time on, a paint brush was forever in his hand. His passion for painting turned into his life time profession as an artist. His beautiful paintings are now enjoyed by art lovers all across the U.S. Bob moved his family to Minnesota in 1953. There he founded King Productions, a successful store design company.
Bob married his high school sweetheart, Joy (Wenger), enjoying 54 years of marriage until Joy's death in 2001. They lovingly raised their four children in Bloomington, MN, and upon retirement, were able to fulfill their dream to own a lake home in Aitkin, MN. Memories of bonfires, starry nights and story-telling will live on forever in their four children, nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
After moving to Rochester, MN, Bob met his soulmate, Linda Hyde who enriched his life with love and laughter. He embraced his faith and was a member of Pax Christi Catholic Church in Rochester, MN. Bob was a true giver. He volunteered time, money and ideas for most of his life while active in the Lions Club , Knights of Columbus, and DFL. Bob was a dedicated volunteer with the Kinship program which assisted troubled youth in Aitkin, MN. Through his example of volunteerism and his tenacious fight against cancer and heart disease, he instilled in his children the idea that we are on this earth to give, not to take; to never give up and to always see the beauty around us.
Bob is also survived by his sister, Anne Heuvelman, of St. Louis, MO. Services will be held Thursday, February 25, at Pax Christi church in Rochester. Visitation at 1:00 pm, Service at 2:00 pm and Fellowship at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to: Pax Christi Men's Club, Pax Christi Knights of Columbus, and the Rochester Area Family YMCA's LiveSTRONG Cancer Survivor Program. Mahn Family Funeral Home - Rochester Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
