ROBERT EARL JEWELL
The Celebration of life for Robert Earl Jewell; born July 10, 1936 son of 
Claude Murray Jewell and Emma Margaret (DeLeau). Grew up in Lansing Michigan 
and graduated from Sexton High School.

Robert went into the US Air force, was trained to be a dental assistant. He 
was stationed in Newfoundland Canada (Earnest Harmon Air Force Base

married. He later moved to Texas and California, only to return to Lansing.

Robert enjoyed his farming; he would spend many hours with his Neighbor 
farmers to all help each other out to get the work done. He would spend time 
fishing (both ice and open waters) with family and friends. Robert and Cecil 
Rogers would end up a joke in the paper that they would go ice fishing only 
to return home early and tired after they cut a hole big enough to put their 
boat in. He enjoyed hunting and being outdoors. Robert spent time on the 
radio communicating with friends he found there.
