Black, Robert K. "Bob"

Robert K "Bob" Black, 87, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2002 at
his home in Oklahoma City. He was born on December 6, 1914 in Marshall,
Oklahoma to Cecil H. and Olive Marguerite Black. He was preceded in death
by his parents and his wife, Lorraine S. Black, and is survived by his
eldest son, KIee Black and wife Sally and their daughters Ashley and
Mallory Black, by his youngest son Chris Black and his children Meredith
Hayden and Cooper Black, and by his beloved longtime friends and
caregivers Nina Gaffney and Jo Walker. Bob grew up in Shattuck, Oklahoma
and later attended The University of Oklahoma, graduating with a degree in
Business. He served in World War II in the U.S. Army and retired as a
Lieutenant Colonel. In 1952 he married Lorraine Schrader, and a few years
later they formed R. K. Black, Inc. to sell and service office equipment
in the metropolitan area. They built the business on the principles of
honesty and integrity, values that have kept the organization strong for
almost 50 years. His service to the community included serving as a deacon
and as an elder at Westminster Presbyterian Church and as a board member
of the Presbyterian Health Foundation. Throughout his life, Bob enjoyed
the love of family, the richness of friendships, and the constant pursuit
of learning. His family remembers him with love and pride, and invites you
