Bob Loeb Robert C. Loeb of Lakeway, Texas passed away January 31, 2010, after a struggle with multiple systems atrophy. Born in Fresno, California on January 27, 1940, he was the son of the late Dolores and Charles Loeb.
Bob is survived by his wife, Barbara and two sons: Jeffrey of Dallas, TX and Warrant Officer Michael Loeb of Ft. Rucker, Alabama; two sisters, Beverly Nelson and Shirley Buddell, and one brother, Maurice, as well as many other relatives and friends.
He was a computer programmer working for Chevron for 37 years and on loan to Saudi Aramco in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia for 18 years. He met his wife, Barbara, in Dhahran. Prior to working for Chevron, he served in the US Army.
Bob was a proud member of the Dhahran Theater Group. He directed, acted, and stage managed many different productions and built sets as well. In Lakeway, he was a member of the auxiliary police force. He loved to cook and bake. Reading, especially science fiction, was a pleasure for him and so were computer games.
He learned to ride a motorcycle late in life. His hobbies often changed as the need arose: he made his own bullets for practice at the shooting range. He and Barbara enjoyed traveling to various parts of the world. Each year, on their return from Saudi Arabia, they took Jeff and Mike on different trips whether it was a dude ranch, rafting down the Rogue River or diving together.
A memorial service for Bob will be held Sunday, February 14, at 3:00 p.m. at the Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home in Lakeway, Texas.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Cure/PSP, Executive Plaza 111, 11350 McCormack Blvd., Suite 906, Hunt Valley, MD 21031. This is a research organization for brain diseases.
Thank you to the nurses and staff of St. David's South and the Summit of Lakeway for their outstanding care during Bob's illness.
