Robert Roy Hoskins (Bob) was born February 17, 1952 to Robert and Shirley (Mott) Hoskins in Hillman, MN. He graduated from Onamia High School in 1970. There he met the love of his life, Nancy Schmolke, and they were married on September 19, 1970 in Pine Center, MN. They shared a beautiful life together, filled with love and laughter. He built a successful career as a Master Electrician and was the owner of Bob Hoskins Electric before retiring in 2020.

Bob was a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Milaca, MN and was well respected throughout his community, known for his quick wit and kindness. In his free time, he loved hunting, fishing, being at the lake, and cheering on the Minnesota Twins.
