Robert Lewis Sattre

Robert Lewis "Bob" Sattre, longtime Newkirk resident, passed away Friday 
afternoon, March 1, 2002 in Fairfax.  He was 58.

Robert Lewis Sattre was born Jan. 29, 1944 in Simpson, MN, the son of Leo 
Juel and Maxine Yvonne Goodwin Sattre.  His early years were spent in 
Minnesota.  When he was 15 years of age, he moved to Oklahoma with his 
family after the death of his father.  He attended Ponca City High School 
through his sophomore year.  He then took on the responsibility of helping 
raise his two sisters and four brothers.  At the age of 16 he started 
working in the Feed Mill of the Farmer's Co-op in Kildare.

Bob and Lila Mae Wood were married Aug. 23, 1969 in Tonkawa.  They 
established their first home in Newkirk where they lived their entire 
married life with the exception of five years they lived in Kildare.  Bob 
worked his way up in the Co-op to the position of manager.  He left 
Farmer's Co-op in 1996 after 35 years of service.  That same year he made 
his family proud by getting his GED for high school.  He then purchased 
and operated the feed store in Fairfax, and later a feed store in Hominy.

As a youth, Bob was baptized into the Lutheran Church.  He was a member of 
the Moose Lodge and was an avid Ag Booster.  He was a member of the 
Newkirk Chamber of Commerce and served as a board member for three years.  
He was also a member of the Fairfax Chamber.  He enjoyed spending time 
with his wife, children and grandchildren, and his favorite hobbies 
included fishing, gardening and playing bingo.

He is survived by his wife, Lila; one son, Jeff Sattre of the home; two 
daughters, Kim Gregg of Ponca City and Jennifer Makhanov of Billings, MT; 
two sisters, Mattie Jean Poor of Ponca City, Sharon Sattre of Kildare; 
four brothers Tom Sattre, Kurt Sattre, Chris Sattre, all of Ponca City, 
and Rick Sattre of Piedmont; and two grandchildren.  He was preceded in 
death by his parents.

The funeral was held on Tues. March 5 at 2 p.m. in the Trinity Lutheran 
Church, 125 Vinnedge St., Blackwell, with the Rev. mark Bersche, Vicar of 
St. John's Lutheran Church in Moore officiating.  Burial will follow in 
Prairieview Cemetery south of Tonkawa under the direction of Miller-Stahl 
Funeral Service.  Contributions may be made to the Bob Sattre Memorial
