Bob was born on December 20, 1921 in Sunnyside, WA, the son of Jacob and Amelia (Lohrence) Martin. Bob was raised in the Green Valley area and received his education at Wendell Phillips School. Bob grew up working on a farm with a team of horses. He married Eileen M. Walker on September 6, 1941 in Sunnyside, WA. Following their marriage they made their home in Seattle, WA and Portland, OR, before returning to Prosser, WA. Since 1943 the Martin Family farmed in the Sunnyside area, starting with 40 acres and building up to 1200 acres in the Roza Irrigation District, having raised asparagus, corn, rutabagas, peppermint, spearmint and sugar beets. In the late 1940's he purchased his first F-12 Farmall tractor. He loved harvesting mint and ran his mint still for 24 hours/ day for many years harvesting his own mint and for many neighbors. Bob was a hard worker and was well respected by those who worked for him. He hired entire families and some worked for him for over 30 years. He respected his workers and treated all with fairness and dignity. He loved his work as a farmer and was excellent at giving orders. His motto was dance on Saturday night - otherwise you are working, or resting to go back to work. He was a man on the go and would never miss the activities and fun at the Prosser States Day Parade or the Yakima County Fair. Bob loved all holidays but truly cherished Christmas, he had a child like spirit and was known to open up his presents before Christmas Day and re-wrap them and act surprised upon opening them for a second time. He enjoyed traveling in his motor home, hunting and fishing. Bob always had a spring in his step and loved a good dance on Saturday night. He was a life time member of the Moose, Eagles and Lower Valley Elks Lodge.
