Bob Veches Obituary – 6/8/2010


Robert Howard Veches, 67, of Cokato, MN, passed away on June 8, 2010 at his home in Cokato after a short battle with cancer.

Bob was preceded in death by his mother Shirley Miller, brother David Veches and father Howard Veches.

He is survived by sisters Ruth Ann Rigenhagen and Julia (Gordon) Howard, brothers John (Linda) Veches, Charles Veches and Richard (Sharon) Veches, and many nieces and nephews.

Bob was born June 11, 1942 in Maple Lake, MN and spent his adult life in Cokato, among many good friends. Bob worked for Functional Industries until his retirement a few years ago, but continued to be involved with his co-workers and friends through the Wright Connections II, held at Functional Industries in Cokato.

Bob enjoyed the many activities offered through Wright Connections, going on his annual vacations, holidays with his family and the many social functions with his friends and family.

His family will miss Bob’s good humor and warm heart, and is thankful for all of the support he has received over the many years he spent in Cokato by Warner Homes, REM, Functional Industries, Wright Connections, and Assembly of God Church and Pastor Al Jones – together they have given Bob a very full and happy life and kept him an active part of the community which he enjoyed so much.

Family members are saddened by Bob’s sudden illness, but thankful that God took him home before he endured much suffering.

A private service was at his home in Cokato on his birthday, Friday, June 11, 2010.
