Robert John Rottman was born March 9, 1936, on the farm on Spring Creek Road to Clarence and Alma (Coster) Rottman. He graduated from Lisbon High School in 1954, and spent much of his time working on the family farm. Bob met Nancy Moe through a mutual friend in 1973, and they were married on July 4, 1975. He enjoyed attending auctions, shopping, listening to polka music on Sundays, watching television shows including comedies, Westerns, game shows, and even soap operas. He was also a long time member of Lisbon United Methodist Church. Bob was a sociable, selfless, kind, and giving person. He enjoyed chatting and joking with everybody he met—many folks couldn’t even get a word in, especially his brother, Donald, who he spent a lot of cherished time with. Bob treasured time spent with this family, always kept a light-hearted and positive attitude, and helped comfort many family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Donna (Emerson); infant daughter, Rhonda; and brother, Donald.
