Bobby Lee Diehm went to be with his Lord on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at his home in Norman after a short-term illness.

He leaves his loving wife of 28 years, Liz Diehm; daughter Cindy Ferguson, son Randy Diehm and wife Donna, stepdaughter Candy Reece and husband Bob, stepson Ted Moore; grandchildren Craig Diehm, Jennifer Thorstad and husband Chili, Kristen Starcevich and husband Johnny, Brittany Ferguson, Jennifer Willis and 3 precious great grandchildren. Bob is also survived by his “adopted” son, friend, and business associate Bobby Militar, numerous cousins from the loving Morren clan and his miniature dachshunds, Abby & Katie.

Bob was born October 15, 1925 in Norman. After graduation from Norman High, Bob and three of his high school buddies joined the United States Coast Guard during World War II. After serving his country, Bob began a career in sales from ceiling tiles to surplus sales, eventually opening his first floor covering store in 1969 in Norman, D&D Carpet & Tile.

Bob retired briefly from the carpet store and partnered with his friend, Jess Reed in 1987 with KinderCare Day Care Centers for nationwide renovations. In 1992, Bob & Liz opened Bob Diehm Flooring and sold it in 1996.

Bob tried retirement again, but his clients and contractors kept calling so Bob & Liz started Commercial Floors of Oklahoma and it is still alive and well today.

Bob was an avid sports fan and loved boxing, bowling, wrestling, football and golf. He was a regular watcher of Wheel of Fortune for the past 15 years. Bob loved spending time with this precious family and pups.

Bob had a special group of friends we affectionately call “the Geezers”. For the past 6 years, 10 World War II veterans have met weekdays at 1pm at McDonald’s on Lindsey to have senior coffee and solve all the world and local problems. With Bob’s passing, there are only 3 left.

Funeral services will be held Thursday at 2pm at Havenbrook Funeral Home Chapel. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project at www.woundedwarriorproject.org or (877) 832-6997.
