Born September 29, 1937, Malta Bend, MO, he was the son of the late Burr P. Edde and Helen L. Bryan Edde. Early in Bob’s career he was a tractor mechanic at Bryan Implement. In the 1960’s he became an auto mechanic for Scott’s Garage on Salt Pond Street in Marshall. In the 1970’s he became a diesel mechanic on big rig trucks and Thermo King AC on trailers. As a side job, Bob was a commercial fisherman on the Missouri River. Bob enjoyed fishing, hunting, Ham radio, and he was life-long motorcycle rider. Bob married his second wife, Minnie Mae “Mitzi” Kintz in 1976, and they built a small home in Malta Bend, MO. In early 1990’s they bought a place on the Osage River in Warsaw, MO, and commenced to restore the cabin and built a workshop. After his retirement in 2000, Bob had more time to fish for those annual fish fries with a lot of family and friends in attendance. Bob stayed in Warsaw for 11 years after Mitzi passed but seeing he needed family close to him, in 2015 he moved to Slater, MO. There he restored a small home and built a small garage.
