Daughter Robin Housden Jacobs 11-17-2014
Robert Allen Housden departed this life 4:05 a.m. 15 December 2013 following 
a brief illness.  His daughter Robin and son-in-law Roy were at his bedside.  
His brother Bill and sister-in-law Virginia were nearby.  Robert was 74 
years of age.

Robert is preceded in death by his parents Athol “Jack” and Flora Housden, 
nee Wilson and his sister, Deanna Kay Pesmark.  He is survived by his 
brother William Dale Housden and sister-in-law Virginia, daughter Robin 
Celeste Jacobs and son-in-law  Roy, and daughter Rachel Bene’ Romine, niece 
Teri Lyn Barber, nee Pesmark and great niece Tosha Inman, cousins Linda Beth 
Concoby, nee Ray and Debra Sue Ray.

Robert (Bob) was born 28 August 1939 in Licking, Texas County, Missouri.  
Growing up, his father’s vocation caused the family to move many times. He 
graduated from Hahnville High School in Louisiana then attended Louisiana 
State University.  After college he entered the Air Force as a pilot cadet.  
When Bob left the service, among other jobs, he worked as a St. Louis 
fireman, a Greyhound bus operator and a truck driver.  As an adult he lived 
in several states; Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma.

When Bob retired from the road, he settled in the Ellington, Missouri area.  
He purchased Lake Clearwater Lodge (aka The Lower Bar) at Webb Creek and 
leased it to the Modern Day Veterans Chapter 173.  “The Lodge” was the 
center of activity in the area and Bob was deeply involved in the Webb Creek 
community and made many friends.  

Numerous interests occupied Bob’s time.  He enjoyed reading, traveling, 
crossword puzzles, keeping up with news and politics, cooking and computers.  
He studied religion and history, particularly anything related to the 
military.  

Bob is laid to rest in the Licking City Cemetery, Licking Missouri along 
with other Housden family members.

Robert Allen Housden, may he rest in peace, is greatly missed by his family 
and friends.
