Bob was born on April 24th, 1927 to George and Maree Gamble in Rainier Oregon. Bob served in the US Navy at the end of WWII, bringing GI’s home from the Asian Pacific. Bob met the love of his life, Barbara, while working in Portland Oregon. They were married for 65 years. He and Barbara moved to Liberty Lake in 1962 and built their family home where they lived for 45 years. Bob and Barbara were active in Liberty Lake Community Church while raising their three children. Bob worked as the General Manager for Boise Cascade Corrugated Container division in Spokane Valley for 30 years. After retirement from Boise Cascade, Bob found great pleasure working part-time at the Plant Farm, Ace Hardware, and Ziggy’s. Bob was also active in the Liberty Lake community. Giving back to his community was very important to him. He was elected to and served as the sewer commissioner for 6 years. He volunteered his time to many charitable organizations including Spokane Corps of Retired Executives, Friends of Pavilion Park, Liberty Lake Library, Meals on Wheels and was a member of Kiwanis for many years. He spent much of his free time gardening, traveling, and visiting his children and grandchildren.

Everyone who knew Bob knew how devoted he was to his wife and family. Bob touched many lives in the Liberty Lake community. Bob is survived by his children Anne McTee (Strohm), Celia Lindor (Karl), and John Gamble (Sarah), Eight Grandchildren and six Great Grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, cousins and an abundance of friends. We will miss him more than words can say.
