Robert L. Jung, 89, of St. Louis, died Dec. 12, 2016, in St. Louis.

He was born on July 15, 1927, in Waterloo, son of the late Charles and Minnie Jung (nee Rosemann).

He was raised in Waterloo and graduated from Waterloo High School in 1945.

He proudly served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II and then graduated from Saint Louis University in 1950 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing. He retired in 1991 from The Daniel and Henry Company, where he worked as an insurance broker.

Bob was a devout Catholic, actively involved at St. Mathias Catholic Church, the Legion of Mary, and had been server at the Basilica of St. Louis when he was younger.

After retirement he kept busy as a volunteer at St. Alexius Hospital Auxiliary and St. Agatha food pantry, taking Communion to the homebound, and writing poetry.

He will be remembered for the patience and kindness he gave to those who knew him, as well as for his dry sense of humor.
