Steiner, Robert J. "Bob" Age 93, passed away Aug. 10, 2019. He was born and raised in St. Paul, MN, and graduated from St. Thomas Academy in 1943. Bob fought for his Country during WWII where he served as a first gunner, 81 MM mortar, under General George Patton, in the Third Army 86th infantry division and in the Hodges' First Army in the European theater. He was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge and the Bronze Star for meritorious achievements in ground combat against the armed enemy. He was a hard-working provider for his family and a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. An avid fisherman, birdwatcher, arborist, photographer, and traveler, Bob had an endless appetite for current events and a true gift for quick-witted retorts. He was a grounded and humble man, whose calming influence and strength of character provided, and will continue to provide, an eternal compass for those who knew him.
