Robert M. Reando, 84, passed away quietly at his home in Anaheim, CA on Monday, January 23, 2012.
Services for Robert will be held in Starkweather this summer.
Robert was born and raised in Starkweather, ND, the only child of Peter J. and Evelyne C. (Olson) Reando. He joined the Navy Hospital Corps upon graduation from high school. He served in several Pacific theatres as well as stateside over the next 20 years before retiring to the Fleet Reserves.

The two raised their children in Anaheim. After Robert’s final retirement, the couple divided their time between Anaheim and Starkweather.
