Read More	The Miles City Star, January 12, 2011, Miles City, Montana Robert Ray ""Bob" Lamb Passes Away MILES CITY — Robert "Bob" Ray Lamb, a longtime resident of Miles City, passed away on Jan. 11, 2011, at the Holy Rosary Healthcare. Bob, the seventh of 10 children, was born on July 7, 1923, to Robert Ray and Flossie A. (Sherwin) Lamb in Ollie. He attended school in Rosebud. He joined the Montana Highway Department in January of 1942, starting in the construction department. The country was at war and he was inducted into the U.S. Navy on Jan. 27, 1943, doing his basic training in Farragut, Idaho, attending Storekeeper School. Following school Bob was stationed at Seattle; Port Hueneme, Calif.; and Bremerton, Wash. After his honorable discharge in March of 1946, he returned Miles City and resumed work at the highway department, retiring in 1985 as a District Maintenance Supervisor. Following retirement he spent many hours as a "handyman and ranch hand" at the McRae Ranch anticipating work to be done before anyone else noticed. He married Rosie A. Valach on Sept. 20, 1943, in Miles City and since 1946 has lived in Miles City. During the ‘40s, he became interested in collecting license plates and has been known for his extensive collection of plates. He was a member of the American License Plate Collector Association (ALPCA) and the state associations of Wyoming, Nevada and Montana. He also enjoyed fishing, "Sunday drives" and playing cards. Being a member of the Miles City #537 Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks for 63 years, he served as Exalted Ruler in 1962 to ‘63 and as a District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler (two times) for Montana Southeast. He was a 66-year member of the American Legion. He had a great faith in God and was a lifetime member of the First Presbyterian Church, where he served as greeter and usher for many years. Bob was the very definition of a "good neighbor" - raising the neighborhood children and was willing to help in any way when requested or simply needed. It was a joy for him to meet people and engage in conversation especially about people and history of this area. His dogs "Boots" and "Fritz" were his constant companions. Rosie preceded him in death on July 14, 1991, as did his parents and companion Agnes Mickus. He is survived by his daughter, Nancy (Wayne Leroy) Pierce-Rogowski of Las Vegas; one sister, Gehn Hoyt of Laurel; a sister-in-law, Mildred (John) Valach of Miles City; a special friend, Joyce Haughawout of Miles City; and his extended Miles City family of Linda (Mickus) Hodgson; Dawn and Autumn Heibner, and Kaitlyn Shockley; plus numerous nieces and nephews. The family would like to acknowledge the doctors, nurses and staff at the Holy Rosary Healthcare for their kindness and compassion for Bob during his hospitalization. Visitation will be held on Thursday, Jan. 13, at Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home in Miles City, with family receiving friends from 4 to 6 p.m. Funeral services will be held on Friday, Jan. 14, at 11 a.m., at the First Presbyterian Church in Miles City. Interment will follow in the Custer County Cemetery with full military honors provided by VFW Post #1579. A dinner will follow all services at the Miles City Elks Lodge #537. Donations and memorials may be made to the charity of your choice.
