Bob was the son of Murray and Velma Spencer Van Steenis. He was born in the Hospital in Oskaloosa on October 12, 1935. He attended Greely Grade School, Oskaloosa High School, and graduated from Elkhart University in Elkhart, Indiana as a dental technician. Bob married Sandra Dunning. To this union five children were born, Mark, Debbie, Bob, Marna, and Christina. Bob suffered a severe neck and spinal cord injury in a car accident in which he was the passenger, near Boulder, Colorado. As a result, he was unable to continue his career as a dental technician. He then pursued a career in food service working as a chef and liaison to management. Lastly Bob worked at the Dutch Buffet in Pella, and for over 15 years at the Stone Henge in Oskaloosa. Bob married Mae Price in 1986, together they managed group homes in Des Moines, Iowa and later in Kirkwood, Missouri. In 1990, they opened Van Steenis Care Center, caring for the elderly. Bob enjoyed the Iowa State Fair, and trips to Branson to listen to Southern Gospel Music. Bob was blessed with a voice to sing, and a sense of humor and an ornery side that brought smiles to many.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, son, Mark Van Steenis; and his siblings, Donald (Violet) Van Steenis, Iola (Omer) Fleck, and Norma Jean (Leonard) Allgood.
