Friends may call from 4:00 to 8:00 pm Tuesday at Martin Funeral Home in Waukon. Robert James Decker was born on June 5, 1938 in rural Farmersburg, IA. His parents were Harold James and Mildred Jane (Fish) Decker. When he was quite young, his family moved to the rural Forest Mills area of Allamakee County where he attended school. Following his schooling he worked for a number of neighboring farmers. On December 3, 1961 Bob married Sharon Steiber at the EUB church in Lansing, IA. They moved to Cedar Rapids where he worked for the city. After a couple of years they moved back to Monona and Bob started a career in truck driving that spanned nearly 40 years. He drove for several local firms, including Gary Bulman, Kurk Trucking, Caledonia Haulers and Gerry Sommer, as well as a number of other regional carriers. Following his retirement in 2000, he worked as a security guard at Cabela's in Prairie du Chien, WI, and rode with his son Steve, who is also a truck driver. Bob enjoyed music and liked to go dancing. He also played a little guitar. As an avid outdoorsman, he appreciated days spent fishing on the Mississippi River or squirrel hunting in the northeast Iowa hills.
