Robert J. “Bob” Rostocil passed away on May 1, 2020 in Plainville, Kansas, at the age of 86. He was born on August 12, 1933 to Lee and Bessie (Bartos) Rostocil in Rooks County, Kansas. Bob attended country school in Rooks County for 7 years and graduated from Palco High School with the class of 1951. Bob was united in marriage to Marilyn (Fury) Wasinger in 1952 and later married Donna Rae Horton in Stockton, KS on February 10, 1976.
Bob truly enjoyed farming, taking care of cattle and raising crops. He also loved spending time with his family and friends, going out to eat and football. He was actively involved in the community visiting with others to keep up on current local events. He was a past member of the Kansas Farm Bureau Association, and a member of the First Christian Church.
Bob is survived by his children, Cyd McElhaney (Rob) Blais of Anadarko, OK, Lynne VanDyke of Zurich, KS, and Debbie Cenedese of Springfield, MO; grandchildren, Evan McElhaney, Anna Bentley, Ben McElhaney, and Nicole Jennings; and eight great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Lee and Bessie Rostocil; spouse, Donna Rae Rostocil; sister, Leona Rostocil; and brother Walter Rostocil.
Bob was a good-hearted man who worked hard, enjoyed life and cherished his family and friends. Never one to go slow and easy, he beat us to the finish line, but we look forward to rejoining him one day when we see him again on the other side of heaven.
