Knobel, Robert P. (Bob)

Age 95, of Mounds View, joined his Heavenly Father on October 25, 2018.

Preceded in death by parents and one brother. Bob worked 14 years as an engineer at WCCO-TV and 22 years as a field service engineer for 3M Company. Served in the Army Air Force in WWII from 1942-1945 as a top turret engineer on a B-17 Flying Fortress.
