Bob accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior in 1962 and spent the remainder of his life in ministry to the Lord.

He is survived by Sue (Parker) Swindle, his wife of 55 years, his son Robert (Sherry) Swindle, daughter Micki (Ken) Ewert, son Stephen (Heather) Swindle, and daughter Andrea Swindle. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Through God’s blessing, all of his children and descendants are followers of Christ.
