He entered the Army National Guard on November 3, 1970 and climbed the ranks to Sergeant 1st Class. He took a tour in Honduras before being honorably discharged on November 3, 1994, after 24 years of service. Robb married Bonnie Shear and three boys were born: Rick, Bob, and Randy.

Robb loved to play golf, fishing at the family pond, wood working, traveling, and loved reading a good book. He was a coffee connoisseur and enjoyed spending the summers mowing all his “kids” lawns, even though he always said he was done “for good” after the season. Always up for a grill out or a night with friends, he took a smile wherever he went and shared it with all he met. Robb is survived by his son, Dustin (Jenna) Slaymaker of O’Neill, NE; sons, Bob (Kiley) Slaymaker, Randy (Kerry) Slaymaker, and Rick Slaymaker; sisters, Mary (Dave) Brinkman of Surprise, AZ and Sandra Slaymaker of Sun City, AZ; many grandkids, nieces, and nephews; extended family, Matt (Jade) Murphy and kids of O’Neill, NE, Heather Anderson and kids of O’Neill, NE, ex-wife, Lori (Bill) Loughman of Aurora, NE, and Pat Murphy of O’Neill, NE.
