Robert "Bob" D. Stenfors' Obituary
Robert "Bob" Dale Stenfors of Minneapolis passed away surrounded by his family on May 2, 2018 after a lengthy illness. He was born July 19, 1948 in Salina to Kenneth and Edith (Peterson) Stenfors.

They shared 47 years of marriage. After attending Hutchinson Community College, he graduated with a Business degree from Kansas State University.
Bob was in sales and an avid antique dealer. He always said the fun was in the chase. He and Roberta enjoyed over 40 years in their business, Stenfors Antiques, making many friends through their travels.
Bob lived every day to the fullest and never knew a stranger. His favorite things included Roberta, his family, Kansas State sports, NASCAR, wheat harvest, refinishing antiques, collecting farm toys, the HCC Ag students, buying and selling cars, and attending the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion with his brothers.
He will forever be remembered for his sincere interest in others, orneriness, joke telling, and never running out of something to say.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents and brother-in-law, LaVon "Smitty" Schmidt.
Survivors are his wife, Roberta, of the home; sister, Janice Schmidt of Bennington; brothers, Lyle (Nelda) of Laurie, MO, Keith (Delores) of Salina, Jack (Susie) of Bennington, and Bill (Kathi) of Manhattan.
