Bob was born May 13, 1951, the son of Erling and Marilynn (Orheim) Alm, in Minot, ND.

Bob spent the summers of his youth with family at Kenosee Lake, Saskatchewan, where he made lots of lifelong friends.

Bob enlisted in the United States Army in 1970. He proudly served his country in South Korea. He was honorably discharged. Bob studied Martial Arts and Taekwondo when he was in Korea and became near to a black belt before being discharged.

After the Army he briefly attended NDSU for Construction, but was needed on the job with Orheim Alm Construction, so he moved back to Minot. He later had a small business called Bob’s Candle Shop near Roosevelt Park.

Bob’s passions included fishing and hunting. He was a fine stone Mason and worked with agates and other rocks polishing and preparing for jewelry making by his special companion, Margie Taylor.
