Robert was born to Karl Roland Storey and Vera Sarah London Storey in a Suburb of Chicago called Oak Park. His parents divorced when he was very young and he lived a good part of his young life with his Grandparents James Roland Storey and Emma Augusta Schmidt Storey, his Father and Uncle Lon Storey. It was a very diverse childhood.
When he graduated from High School he had several jobs till he settled on working for Lloyds of London, an Insurance Company. He worked for Lloyds for 30 years as an insurance adjuster and retired at age 52. He started in Chicago, Illinois and in 1951 transferred to California with his young family. He really enjoyed his job and was very good at it. He told of all the money that passed through his hands as an adjuster.
On May 3, 1941 he married Louise Ann Jenks in Canton, Lewis County, Missouri and they had one son, Scott William Storey. After many years he and Louise divorced.
Around the mid sixties he married Delores and they were married twice. They had a son together, Blaine Robert Storey. Robert adopted Delores son Bryan R . Agliolo and he went by Bryan Robert Storey the rest of his life. Eventually Bob and Delores also parted ways.
After a brief retirement, which caused much boredom he took a job with
Dr. Campbell, DDS, and worked as an independent contractor for another 20 years and finally retired for good at age 72.
Robert had a life's passion for hunting. He has been all over the world. He helped found a hunting club with partners, Nick Mathos, Tom Puckett, Sam Chico and Hank Fretis. They primarily hunted duck in California, but they all did a great deal of traveling for their sport. They hunted in Mexico several times and spent some time in San Lucas (Baja, Mexico), where they rented a villa for a week and went on day hunting trips from there. This was before it became such a popular resort area. And they also hunted in San Quintina for dove.
He took all of his sons hunting many times, and all three young men were very accomplished hunters in their own right. The fellas even enjoyed a bit of ice fishing right across the street from Bob's home in Viola. The Christian Camp across the road has a good sized lake which freezes during the winter months. One year it froze enough to allow the guys to cuts holes into it and do a bit of fishing. They even caught some fish too.
In 2003 Bob went to Buenos Aires, which was a 15 hour plane trip one way, with one of his hunting partners, Nick Mathos and Nick's son Peter for 5 days. They hunted dove and had a pleasant time and Bob had some real interesting stories to tell of this trip which turned out to be his last hunting trip, his legs just were giving out on him to often.
Bob had six joys in his world after he retired. He had five Grandsons and "Sam the Dog."
Sam the Dog Storey was Bob's constant companion for the last fourteen years. Sam was a full breed Australian Shepherd, Black with copper and white. Sam was born April 6, 1990 and passed on in January 2005. Bob told of having an appointment to select a puppy and when he arrived Sam was the only one left, and it is agreed that he got the best one of the whole litter. Sam had two special tricks he could do. He would sit with a biscuit on the bridge of his nose till he was told he can have it and then he flipped it into the air and caught it. His other nice touch, was that he would stay on command and would not move till he was told he could, and this included walking out of his eye sight and when food was within reach. Sam never tore or chewed on anything and he would not take food that was not given to him. He was a good hunting dog too. They both enjoyed long walks in the woods and would play with a ball occasionally. They even traveled together daily. Sam would be waiting in the car when Bob was ready to go home, they were often seen coming up the Highway together, both watching the road for deer. They both will be sorely missed.
Bob leaves to this world, one son, Bryan, five Grandsons, and many friends who will miss him.
Ah yes, Bob pretty much wrote this himself in 2004, when he became seriously interested in finding out about his ancestors, he felt he should have something written about himself too. So when this site was found, here it is Bob!
EDIT: 20 April 2006 - Bob has passed away. He was living in Anderson, Shasta County, California at the time of his death.
