We are saddened to report the passing of

Bob was born to the late Joseph and Eva
Truckey in Three Rivers, Michigan, on March 4,
1930. He was the oldest of six boys and forever
will be remembered by his devoted brothers:
Joseph, James, Jerry, and John. William preceded
him into death.
He left home at the age of 17 to join the Air
Force. Later, he moved to California and worked in
the transformer industry. In 1975 he started his
own company, Cal-Fasteners, Inc. He and his wife,
Colleen, worked together to make this a thriving
corporation, along with their two sons.
Bob was blessed to have a large family. He
married Colleen Vander Haag, on March 1, 1957
in Los Angeles, California. Bob left behind six
children: Marilyn Goodwin; Barbara Bonenfant
along with husband, Mark; Robert Truckey Jr. and
wife, Susan; Joseph Truckey and wife, Jennifer;

Robert had 19 grandchildren, 14 greatgrandchildren,
and two great-great-grandchildren.
He was known by his family as a man of strength,
wisdom, character, and love.
