From Lincoln Star Obituaries 1/23/2013
Robert H. "Bob" Andelt, 59, of Lincoln, left this world from the comfort of his home on Monday (1-21-13). Born (10-30-53) in McCook to Warren and A. Elaine (Hopkins) Andelt. Bob moved to Lincoln with his family at age 8 and he remained a resident of Lincoln until his death. Smart, funny and principled, Bob made many friends during his 51 years in Lincoln. Bob was employed as a switchman at BNSF and enjoyed carrying his golf bag, listening to vinyl on his stereo and long road trips out west. An avid public golfer, and always striving to improve, Bob's philosophy was a bad day of golf is better than a good day without.

My fondest memories of Bob were our years at Irving. Bob and my brother picked up on the same corner the Lincoln Journal. I gladly subbed for my brother just to roll the newspapers and flirt with Bob:) Rest in peace and may the good Lord hold you. Karen

Bob had a tremendous sense of humor! He taught me how to blow spit bubbles in Jr Hi - Ms Wellman got so mad at us! Bob just grinned broadly that grin that was so HIM. Here's to a great guy, gone too soon... Rest in Peace, Bob. You are missed...

Bob and I went to some prom together when we were at Irving. His sister, Laurie, was our chaperon and drove us there. It was around Christmas because I can see our 'flocked' tree in the background. A great guy and will certainly be missed.

My fondest memories of Bob were at Irving & hanging out with other friends. I remember that special smile he had & his personality was exactly as I remember as others saying, smart, funny & a great guy to be friends with. I am sorry to hear of his passing & he will remain in all of our memories. Connie Strnad (Cline)

Our man Flint. Bob always had total control over the direction of his life. He was too smart to do anything else.
