Bob Neil “Fireman Bob”

On Thursday, March 17, Bob and a few close friends went hunting in South Dakota. Friday morning, Bob was being Bob and busily setting up decoys. He went back to the lodge to rest up and began not feeling well. Nothing keeps Bob from hunting. He ended up having to be transported back to Northfield Hospital by ambulance. They found a mass in his colon and removed it. From Northfield Hospital he was taken by ambulance to Abbott Northwestern to the ICU Unit. He was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer that has invaded his colon.

Bob is now recently  retired after serving on the Randolph-Hampton Fire Department for 30 years. He has been a farmer for his whole life and is an avid outdoorsman.

Bob is a man that would drop everything for anyone. He would literally give you the shirt off his back. It is now the time for his community to rally together to support him on his road to recovery!
