Robert “Bob” D. Gair, age 95, passed away peacefully at home with his family on Saturday, February 17th. 
 
Bob is survived by his wife of 39 years, Lorraine “Kathy”, 7 children: Robert "Bobby” Gair Jr., Dennis Gair, Bambi Gair Armeni, Keith Gair, Kimberly Gair Krutty, Sherri Gair George, and Kathleen Gair Crawford.  He also leaves behind 11 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. 
 
Bob was born April 6th, 1922 in Detroit, Michigan. During high school, he spent three summers in the Citizens Military Training Camp at Camp Butler in Battle Creek Michigan. There, he became an expert marksman with the Springfield 1903 rifle, which he would eventually be issued and carry throughout World War II. After graduating high school in 1940, he immediately went to work in an auto parts factory. 
 
Bob enlisted in the US Army in December 1942, completed basic training in Texas and was sent to the Army Specialized Training Program in Little Rock, Arkansas before being assigned to the 99th Infantry Division, 393rd Regiment, F Company. He fought bravely in Central Europe, Rhineland, Ardennes and most notably during the Battle of the Bulge. He received several medals and commendations for his courageous service before returning home in February 1946. 
 
After the war, Bob returned to his work in the auto industry, retiring as a manager with the Chrysler Motor Company, before relocating to Deming with his family. Many of you know and will remember Bob as a greeter at the Deming K Mart, where he proudly wore his jacket adorned with his WWII medals and patches.  He is loved and will be missed. 
 
Per his request cremation will take place at Terrazas Crematory and a service will take place at a later date. Arrangements are with Terrazas Funeral Chapels & Crematory.
