Robert Dean Dahlstrom

Robert (Bob) Dean Dahlstrom, 73, was born on June 8, 1948, in Torrance, CA, to Carl T. Dahlstrom and Rose Eulalia Dahlstrom (Buckman). Bob attended school in El Monte, graduating from Arroyo High School in 1966.

He began working for the National Elevator Industry in 1970, following in his brother, Richard (Rick) Dahlstrom's footsteps. He retired from Amtech Elevator Services in 2014 after 44 years of service to the Union.

Bob met Doris Janelle (Wagoner) Dahlstrom in 1975. They dated on-and-off until they married in 1985. They took up residence in Janelle's home town of Covina. Their daughter, Kristy, joined the party in 1988.

In his free time, Bob enjoyed the outdoors. Camping, riding his quad, off-roading in his Bronco, boating and fishing were his favorite pastimes. He woke up each morning with a Bailey's & coffee in-hand ready for an early morning ride and ended the nights by the campfire. When not camping, he'd be out tinkering with something in the backyard.

After retirement, Bob and Janelle traveled extensively across the United States each summer in their RV. From Maine to Arizona, Florida to Vancouver – the two of them crisscrossed the country visiting friends and family everywhere. His favorite places they visited included Coos Bay Dunes in Oregon, the Union Pacific Steam Shop in Wyoming and Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.

Bob passed away peacefully in his sleep on November 7, 2021 after living with COPD for 10 years. He is survived by his wife Janelle, daughter Kristy (Chris Cowan) and granddaughter Sabrina.
