Bob McCulley Obituary

Our beloved brother Robert (Bob) McCulley passed away on Saturday, April 6 at the age of 94. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 14, at Grace United Methodist Church in Brooklyn, Iowa, with the Rev. John Dodds officiating. Bob was an active member of the Brooklyn COB until its closing. He was also a favorite camp counselor at Camp Pine Lake for multiple generations of campers. He will be remembered for his quick wit, charm, sense of adventure and unconditional love for all who had the pleasure of meeting him.
