He also loved John Deere tractors and anything related to John Deere. If you saw someone in a crowd wearing red and John Deere green, it’s not Christmas ~ it’s enthusiast Robert Farrow! He always had s smile and would visit with anyone and he would have an opinion about what’s right or wrong with any situation. He could start a conversation with anyone, and contribute ideas, encouragement and comfort. He loved reminiscing about his family. Robert had been an active participant in the North Platte First Baptist Church for many years and recently, since his accident, he frequently attended Harvest Christian Church. He was very social and developed friendships in both of those churches.
Robert is survived by his close friends Eric Mehl and Connie Golden; and many other friends in North Platte. His presence will be missed by many people.
He was preceded in death by his father and one brother, David Farrow. His mother, Betty and brother, Ingval Jr.’s whereabouts are unknown.
