Robert "Bob" Steltzriede

Beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather passed away peacefully on May 1, 2019, at the Toni and Trish House, at the age of 87 years. The son of the late Otto and Nellie (Leace) Steltzriede was born on April 17, 1932 in Saginaw. Bob was a graduate of Arthur Hill High School, class of 1951.

The couple shared 60 lovely years together. Bob was employed as a machinist for Miller Mold where he retired with over 30 years of service. He was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Bob enjoyed camping, bike riding, baseball and basketball. He was an avid sports fan for many Michigan professional sport teams and loved to tailgate before some of their events. Bob especially loved to watch the Detroit Tigers as he relaxed at home with a Pepsi, ice cream and a bag of chips. Most of all, he was a family man and enjoyed spending time with his family and watching his grandchildren play sports.
