Robert N. Munson
Robert Neil Munson, age 78, of Maple Grove, MN passed away at his home on March 11, 2021 of cardiac arrest.
Bob was a graduate of Hopkins High School 1960, and St. Olaf College 1964. Following two years in the Peace Corp in Venezuela he returned and entered George Williams College in Downers Grove, IL, where he received a Masters of Social Work degree. Throughout his life Bob was always involved in service to others, at Big Brothers, Lutheran Social Service of MN (Director of Congregational Services), and the Minneapolis Chapter of the American Red Cross (Director of Emergency Services). Following his retirement in 2006, Bob continued his service to others through many volunteer activities at North Memorial and Maple Grove Hospitals, as a church choir member at Cross of Glory Church, First Lutheran Church of Crystal and Lord of Life Lutheran Church where his smiling and welcoming presence could also be found at the Information Center each Sunday. His kind, thoughtful and fun personality could be seen in many additional volunteer positions in the Minneapolis area.
Bob is survived by his wife of 53 years Sandra Munson, his son Christopher, daughter Kari Beth (Brian Cook) and two grandchildren, Sophie and Sam Munson.
Bob used his artistic talents through his Rosemaling (Norwegian Folk Painting). He entered his works at the MN State Fair between 1977-2019 earning 27 ribbons. Bob was kind, caring, thoughtful, and fun, a “Child of God, loved beyond measure”. The family is grateful to extended family and friends for their support during Bob’s illness, and especially thankful for the excellent care provided by the nurses and other professional staff at Kindred Hospice.
