Bob was the son of Theodore and Auguste Engelken Lohmann of Alva, OK, and was born on the farm southeast of Alva on February 14, 1937. He was reunited with his son Jeff on September 7, 2013 surrounded by the love of his family. He attended Zion Lutheran School thru 8th grade and then graduated from Alva High School in 1954. He attended Northwestern State College of Alva, and then graduated from Oklahoma A & M College in 1959 with a degree in Agricultural Education. He was a proud supporter of the OSU "Posse" club and a loyal "Cowboy" fan for the last 56 years.
Bob taught Vo-Ag in Greenfield and Dover. He was a manager of Perry and Newkirk Cooperatives. In 1970, Bob established Northwest Vet Supply, Inc., Enid, OK which he owned and operated for over 40 year, during this time he became a founding member of a leading national animal health company Agrilabs serving on the board of directors for over nine years.
Bob was an active member of the Grand National Quail Club serving in many capacities including President and in 1998 inducted into the "Quail Club" Hall of Fame.
Bob was a well-known supporter of the agricultural community throughout Garfield Co. and the state of Oklahoma. His involvement with OSU extension programs, junior livestock shows, and educational meetings strengthened our entire region. Bob was instrumental in forming the Garfield County Livestock Boosters to raise monies for our youth. Bob received the only "Man of the Year" honor for all he had done. Bob was very humbled to receive this honor.
Although, Bob enjoyed hunting, fishing, ranching, golfing, OSU games and being at the cabin, most importantly he loved spending time with his family and friends. His grandchildren were the light of his life. Not only was he the best Dad and Gramps, he was a true friend to us all.
