The family of Victor Robert "Bob" Dubois, have asked the Patriot Guard Riders to pay Honors on their Hero's final journey home. It will be our honor to do so.
Bob was 86 years old at the time of his death. He was born December 11, 1931, and passed on February 21, 2018.
Bob was a member of the United States Marine Corp from 1951 to 1955, and served in Korea during the war. His rank at the time of his honorable discharge was Sergeant.
He moved to California after his discharge, where he met his wife, Marguerite "Reety". They were married September 11, 1965.
He worked at a Formica Company for 19 years and the last 12 years for E.B. Bradley Company until retiring in 1997.
It was October of 1981 when Bob met the family of Lisa Krystek, as his wife Reety, was to start caring for Lisa's first child.
What Lisa's family didn't know was all of their lives were going to change forever! They instantly became part of their family and loved her kids like they were their own. That is the kind of person he was. Very kind, giving, loving and supportive of Lisa's family.
Bob and his wife were very close to Lisa and her family for the last 37 years. Lisa in turn would later care for Bob until his death.
Bob outlived his wife, 5 sisters and 2 brothers. He is survived by nieces and nephews, and by his "daughter" Lisa Krystek and her family.
