US Navy Seaman First Class Robert Monroe "Bobby" Temple, age 19, of Wathena, Kans., died December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor, a casualty of the World War II bombing of the USS Oklahoma.
After 75 years of waiting, the family is looking forward to conducting a memorial service that properly honors Bobby's life and sacrifice. There are many letters, pictures, and amazing stories to be shared.
All veterans are invited to attend. World War II veterans attending will have special seating reserved for them. The public may also pay their respects along the route of the funeral procession, which will depart Wolfersberger Funeral Home, at 9:30 am, Saturday, June 17, 2017, as it travels south on Lincoln Avenue, through Shiloh via Main Street and Lebanon Avenue to Faith Family Church, Shiloh.
