Robert L. Zech, born December 12, 1930, in Sterling, Colorado, to Walter and Velma Zech, passed away June 22, 2012. Bob had four younger siblings, Norma (Howard); Shirley; Dean (Jan); and Diana.

Bob served in the United States Army during the Korean War.

Bob had three grandchildren; Andy Zech-McKenna, Rachel Gibson and Colby Zech; and two great grandsons, Hayden McKenna and Kaiden Zech.

Bob was a member of Denver Timing Association car club and the North Denver High School Alumni Committee for many years. His wry sense of humor and keen observations will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Bob's leaves behind his beloved companion, Elaine Ciccone, as well as many, many friends and family members who will miss him deeply but know that he is directing things well as St. Peter's right-hand-man in Heaven.

The family requests donations to Denver Hospice in lieu of flowers.

Rest in peace, Dad/Grampa/Big Bro/Uncle/Robert/Bob/Bobby, you are well loved and have reunited in Heaven with loved ones. Watch over the rest of us until we join you!
