Robert R. Pfeninger was born on a farm in Leven Township, the fifth child of Alfred and Katherine (Killeen) Pfeninger on Feb.16, 1923. He grew up around and attended school in Villard. On Sept. 5, 1955, Bob was united in marriage to AnnaMae Kleinschmidt. This marriage was blessed with three sons. Bob farmed with his dad until the farm was sold in 1948 and it was then that he and his brother, Harold bought the trucking business from Rudy Massman. Harold sold his share of the business in 1979 to Bob's son, Tom, and the business continued until Bob sold his share to his son, Jim, in 1988. Bob was an ambitious worker and helpful to all who needed assistance. He served for many years on the Villard City Council. He enjoyed dancing and playing cards with friends and neighbors. He will be remembered for his happy disposition - always kidding everyone.
Bob is survived by his wife of 53 years, AnnaMae Pfeninger of Villard; sons, Tom (Jan) Pfeninger, Jim (Sheila) Pfeninger, both of Villard, and Michael (Pam) of Cold Spring; seven grandchildren, Sara, Patrick, Leanne, Alicia, Tony, Eric and Sam Pfeninger; three sisters, Kathryn Osendorf of Long Beach, Calif., June Hinnenkamp of Melrose and Lois Wenner of St. Cloud; and nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Katherine Pfeninger; sister, Blanche Osendorf; and brother, Harold Pfeninger. In Lieu of flowers memorials are preferred.
