Robert Guest Obituary

June 27, 1933 - Nov. 24, 2008
Bob went home on Monday, November 24, 2008, after a courageous battle with cancer. His suffering and trials, which he bore with such good humor and dignity, are now over and he is rejoicing with his Lord and Redeemer. Bob was born and grew up in Rocky Ford, Colorado, where he was an outstanding athlete. He married his high school sweetheart, Velma Rackler, on September 10, 1952. He proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, and he had a long and distinguished career as a CPA and CEO of a Gas Company. Bob was deeply loved and will be forever missed by his wife of over 56 years, Velma; son, Nick Guest; daughter Patricia and husband Jim Humphries; daughter, Pamela and husband Brian Homme; granddaughter, Carissa Homme; grandson, Erik Homme; brother, Harvie and wife Roberta Guest; many nieces and nephews, and numerous beloved friends. Arrangements will be handled by Cappadona Funeral Home. Funeral services will be at 10:00 a.m., Monday, December 1, 2008 at Academy Christian Church with burial following at Evergreen Cemetery.

Guest family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I was Bob's secretary at Arrow Gas for about 8 years, he was an outstanding person and a terrific boss. Bob was a person you were proud to say you knew.
