Robert “Bob” Hugo Theuringer was born on October 31, 1923, in Acoma Township, Minnesota, to Hugo and Helen (Baseman) Theuringer.

Bob loved fishing, hunting, traveling, and raising and tending to his cows, mules, and donkeys. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends.
