Obituary Highlights:
|
SSGT Robert G. Standley (Bob), 79 died at Plano Medical Center in Plano TX on Monday, August 25, 2014. He was born in Kansas in 1934.
Bob served in the United States Marine Corp during the Korean War and Vietnam. He married Joyce Falter on October 7, 1956. Bob has lived full time in TX since 1978 (36 years). He was talented in electronics from the “old” stuff to modern computers and printers. He was never fully retired as he had an entrepreneurial spirit about him and was always involved in a project.
His next love was flying. When he was young, he treasured his time spent in his Piper Cub soaring over the vast prairie of the SD Badlands. In his later years, he worked for the power company and checked the pipeline through downtown Dallas while flying 50’ off the ground.

Safety First: Please remember to properly hydrate (including

this patriot and their family. NO TALKING, SMOKING, CHEWING
OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS, OR CELL PHONE USE IN THE FLAG LINE!
- We will park along the main street close to the
designated shelter with 2 bikes side by side as close to the
curb and each other as possible so that traffic can get by.
- Riders NOT UTILIZING HANDICAPPED PARKING are requested
to park as far forward as possible at the Visitor's Center
to keep the closest spaces available for other guests.
- Let's always remember to keep the motorcycle and voice
noise to a minimum when arriving and leaving the shelters.
- Cemeteries are hallowed ground. Please keep radios off
and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed
limit. Show our respect to ALL who are there, not just the
one we are honoring.
