Lawrence "Bob" Thomas Henkelman, son of Catherine Marie Henkelman was born April 5, 1941, in Sioux City, Iowa. He attended grade school at St. Lawrence in Carroll then graduated from Wall Lake School in Wall Lake, Iowa.

Bob was inducted into the US Marines on December 31, 1958. He was honorably discharged on February 21, 1965.

On August 22, 1964 Bob was united in marriage with Diane Jentzen at Zion Lutheran Church in Arcadia. Four children were born to this union. Bob worked at several different jobs in life. He spent most of his working years at American Protein in Manning and Bedrock Redi Mix in Denison. There was never a job that couldn't be done in his mind. He knew a little of everything. He was truly a jack of all trades but a master of none. Diane died of cancer in 2018 and Bob continued to live in their home.

Bob was a member of Zion Lutheran Church.

Bob was also diagnosed with cancer in 2009. He died at home surrounded by his family, early in the morning on Saturday, March 21, 2020. He was 78 years, 11 months, and 16 days of age.
