Born December 26, 1933 in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, the son of Marion and Gladys (Anderson) Vaughn, he was a lifelong resident of South Dakota.In his early years, Bob worked as a ranch hand and in the forest and logging industry. He then proudly drove semi truck for over forty-four years: a demanding career that provided him the opportunity to see almost every one of the fifty states.In his leisure time, Bob appreciated being at home with his family and animals. He also enjoyed auctions, pawn shops, and sharing morning coffee with his friends. From the countless people who benefited from his loads, to the regular, roadside-service calls he answered to save a stranded granddaughter, Bob Vaughn dedicated his life to helping people, making our lives a little easier and better. We will miss him.
