    L.R. 'Bob' Whiting
    Leo Robert "Bob" Whiting, 71, of Nampa, went home to be with the Lord on July 27, 1997. He will be greatly missed. Funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m., Saturday August 2, 1997, at the Seven Seas Christian Outreach Center, 1315 1st St. So., Nampa. Burial will follow in the Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Caldwell.

    Bob was born on February 4, 1926, in Chadron, Nebraska, to Samuel and Elizabeth Fronapfel Whiting. He joined the U.S. Army and served as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne *[1] during WWII. Bob spent the last 18 months of the war as a POW in Japan.

    He married Barbara J. Frailey on June 16, 1948, and made a living working on several ranches throughout northwest Nebraska. Bob moved his family to Idaho in 1953. Working at the Sugar Factory, he was able to put himself through Barber College. He owned and operated Bob's Barber Shop in Nampa, for nearly 20 years. He also worked at the Idaho State School and Hospital.

    Bob was dedicated to God, his family and his country. He was a lifetime member of the N.R.A. and enjoyed fiddle music, fishing, hunting, and camping.

    One of his greatest joys was spending time with his family and friends. This was clearly evident by his dry sense of humor. All the family and close friends knew of his particularly dry sense of humor. One had to study him to know if he was joking or not. His pokes and puns included everyone from the highest political offices to those he knew best.

    He is survived by his wife, Barbara J. Whiting of Nampa; a brother, Roy Whiting of Hay Springs, NB; two sisters, Rose Sherbarth of Hay Springs, NB and Grace Baker of Tennessee; five children, Steven Whiting of Baker, OR, Carl Whiting, Roberta Pearce, Mike Whiting, and Pat Whiting, as well as seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren, all of Nampa.*[2]

    Friends may call until 8 p.m. today at the Alsip Chapel.
