Robert “Bobby” J. Huninghake, 61, died unexpectedly on July 27, 2018 at his home in Fairview, Kansas.

Robert was born on September 20, 1956, in Axtell to August and Frances Stegeman Huninghake Jr.; his father died when Robert was very young. He grew up in the St. Benedict community and graduated from St. Mary’s Grade School; graduating from B&B High School in 1974.

He was a member of the Fairview American Legion.
