Bob was born December 10, 1927, the second child of R.D. (June) and Bess H Neal on a Dairy farm in Oklahoma City at the corner of Reno and Rockwell where the General Electric plant now stands. He graduated from Putnam City High school and attended Blackwood Davis Business School. In 1947 he married his high school sweetheart Mary Fuller.  Together they continued the Dairy in Oklahoma City and then he started his own dairy farm in Blanchard in 1957.  He was a faithful member of the 1 ^st United Methodist Church of Blanchard for 60 years.  Bob semi-retired from the Dairy in the 90's but never completely left the farm.

Bob loved his family and his friends. He worked hard his whole life and best known as always fixing something and very inquisitive about how anything mechanical worked.  We could never keep him away from the shop where he was always either looking for something or tinkering.  He loved to hunt and train his bird dogs whenever he could get away from the farm.  Quail hunting was his favorite and according to many he was a very good shot.  Most of all he loved his church family.  In lieu of flowers, the family request memorial contributions be made in Bob's name to the First United Methodist Church of Blanchard.   Arrangements are under the direction of Eisenhour Funeral Home of Blanchard.  Online obituary and guestbook are available at www.eisenhourfh.com .
