Obituary

Robert Maurice Piele (aka) BS Bob was born in St Paul, Minnesota on January 30 th , 1930 to Leonard and Irene Piele. He was the eldest of 9 siblings, half, step and otherwise.

He only had an 8 th grade education and was drafted to the army in 1947 making corporal  before an honorable discharge in 1949.

He hitchhiked to Seattle where he got a job as a taxi driver, and soon met his first wife, Vi. They had 2 girls, Linda and Landy.

At age 19 he got a job at Boeing Aerospace co, where he worked for 45 years as a supervisor of tooling. He designed many tools used to build airplanes and received many awards over the years. He retired at the young age of 63. Dad was also afraid to fly. When he took me Mexico, we were sitting in a Donald Douglas plane. He refused to fly in that plane and made them taxi back to the terminal.

Bob also moonlighted and mastered whatever he did.

He was an Mechanic, Carpenter, Plumber, and he owned a Radio Shack, mainly dealing with CBs cause that's what was hot at the time. His handle was "The Raven".

In his later years, he was a US marshal and part time bounty hunter.

Somewhere in there, he married my mom Ruth Marie and they had me, Regina Marie, my brother Robert Maurice, (his namesake), born on his birthday, Jan 30 th and my baby sister,  Renee Michelle. After retiring and  another divorce, he joined his daughter Regina (that's me), also recently divorced, in Superior, Arizona. He helped by working in my bar, "The BS Saloon" , hence the name "BS Bob".

He also helped in raising my 4 sons, Michael and Jeremy Williams, also known as "The Hurners" and Robert and Nicholas Hurner, (all of them born in the month of January too!)

So that makes 9 Siblings, 2 ex- wives, 5 children, 14 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and a hell of a lot of friends.

BS Bob was well known for his love of young woman, playing taxi and Mr. Banker man.  When ever asked his age, he would say 12, or in his second childhood. You would also hear him tell people that he was his own grandpa.  He would help anyone who asked. He was a very generous man with a heart of gold, and the mouth of a sailor who will be sorely missed.
