Bob was born on Nov. 1, 1927, in Winnett, a son of Roland and Helen (Hanson) Nelson. Bob grew up on family farms in the Broadview/Molt area. At an early age Bob joined the Navy and served in both World War II and the Korean War. He was particularly proud of his service aboard the USS Richmond. After leaving the Navy, Bob returned to Billings and worked for Briggs Distributing. He then began a career as a heavy equipment operator and mechanic for construction projects throughout the western United States, working for companies such as Long Construction, Empire Sand and Gravel and Peter Kiewitt until retirement. On May 29, 1949, he married his soul mate of 57 years, Florence Hart Nelson, and of this union, six children were born. Bob loved his wife, children and grandchildren and delighted in being quite a prankster with them, (Oh, the stories we could tell). Bob had so many friends in Bozeman and Billings; and never met a person he did not like and befriend. He was active in the VFW Post 6774 in Billings Heights, and served them well. Bob was famous for his barbecue ribs, big smoker and his very secret barbecue sauce recipe that no one could get out of him. He loved tinkering with cars and trucks and would not turn an old beater down if offered to him. Bob could always breathe some more life into anything. Bob loved all animals and could always talk Florence into "just one more." Bob was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Stanza; a sister, Ruby; a brother, Walter; his son, Ron Nelson; a grandson, Christopher Diehl; and a granddaughter, Kari Lynn Campbell. He is survived by a sister, Vivian Fitch, of Billings; brother, Gordon Nelson, of Livingston; niece, Mary Jane Schniedt, of Molt; son, Lonnie Nelson (Irene), of Billings; daughters: Vicki C. Bennetts (David), of Montezuma, IA, Patti (Jack) Bawden and Kathi Diehl (Martin Williams), both of Billings, and Kay Adams (Larry), of Laurel; a daughter-in-law, Barb Nelson, of Billings; grandsons: Ryan Diehl, Robert Johnston, Craig Nelson, Jon Adams IV and Andrew Adams; granddaughters: Katie Adams and Ashley Diehl (John Balajadia); and three great-grandchildren, Bailey Johnston, Matao Marshall and Zachary Nelson. A special thank you and God Bless to the staff at the Billings Health and Rehabilitation Community for the care and love they provided for this very special man, loving husband, dad, grandpa and friend. Our family could not have done it without you. Cremation has taken place and graveside services will be held 11 a.m., Monday, March 8, at Yellowstone Valley Memorial Park, with a luncheon following at VFW Post 6774,673 Anchor St., Billings. Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary is assisting with these arrangements. Memorials are suggested to the VFW Post 6774, or the Billings Animal Shelter, 1735 Monad Road, Billings, MT 59101, or the charity of your choice.
