| Notes |
- Robert "Bob" Whyde, age 75 of rural Albion, Illinois passed into Eternity on Saturday, July 6, 2013 at his home. Bob was born on August 21, 1937 in Mt. Carmel, Illinois to Elsie May (Samuels) and Edgar Mack Whyde. He married Shirley Ann Campbell on December 31, 1962 in Dallas, Oregon.
Bob was an Air Force veteran who served his country during an eight-year-long enlistment. Bob worked in equipment installation for Verizon. His hobbies include a lifetime avid interest in coon hunting, and he enjoyed hunting just about everything: deer, squirrel and rabbit. Bob was a member of the Olney American Legion also.
Bob was a dedicated husband and father, and will be dearly missed by his wife of over 50 years, Shirley, of rural Albion; daughters Cynthia May (Micheal) Shaffer of Olney, Illinois and Vera Joann "Jo" Whyde of Bridgeport, Illinois and one grandson and namesake, Robert Lee Whyde.
Bob also leaves behind a host of family and friends who have been a tremendous support to him and his immediate family during his decline in health.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Eleanor Whyde and two brothers, Russel and Wilbur "Dutch" Whyde.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Ingram Funeral Home in West Salem, Illinois with Brother Gene Seals officiating. Burial at the Ebenezer Cemetery, south of Olney, Illinois with military rites.
