Robert Perlinger

December 22, 1924 — December 25, 2021

ROBERT "BOB" S. PERLINGER SR, 97, of North Platte, passed away Saturday, December 25, 2021, at Linden Court in North Platte.

Bob was born December 22, 1924, in Gretna, Nebraska, to Joseph and Theresa (Neuberger) Perlinger. He was one of seven children to bless Joseph and Theresa. Bob attended rural school at District 70 in Perkins County.

In June of 1945, Bob entered the U.S. Army, just as WWII was winding down. Following his discharge, he returned home just in time to help with the harvest. Bob would later go to work on the Hartman farm, where he would meet the love of his life, Maxine Hartman. The two were married on February 16, 1950, at Paxton. Their union would be blessed with four children, Bob Jr, Kathy, Mike, and Barry.

In 1950, Bob went to work for Platte Valley, which would later become NPPD. His tenure there spanned over forty years.

In his free time, Bob loved to garden. He spent countless hours over the years keeping his gardens and was always generous with what he grew.

Bob was also a man of deep love, both for God and family. His devout faith shaped the kind of man he became. As much as Bob cherished his family, they also treasured him.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents; son-in-law, Steve Haman; great-granddaughter, Elliot; three siblings, Joseph Jr, Paul "Bud", and Don; his mother and father-in-law.
