Mount Pleasant – Robert Joel Feest, Sr., age 80, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded with the love of his family, on Wednesday, April 20, 2022.

On December 24, 2006, Bob was united in marriage with Constance "Connie" Lee (nee: Cory) Feest.

Among Bob's interests, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, woodworking, his Harley-Davidson, finding that perfect bargain at a rummage sale and always looked forward to dancing a Polka. Above all, Bob loved and enjoyed being together with his entire family and circle of friends.
