Robert S. Gerhart was born July 2, 1935, to William and Catherine (Johnston) Gerhart. Known to most as “Bob”, he grew up on a farm and graduated from Rose Creek High School in Rose Creek, MN. Bob passed quietly and very unexpectedly in his home in Ottertail, MN on November 9. He was 87. Bob proudly served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps. Later, he worked for a few years at IBM and in 1959 he and his brothers traded the family farm to purchase Brownsdale Meat Service. In that same time, he met his wife Marlene Ione (Tangen) and moved to Brownsdale, MN where they raised their son, Robert Alan Gerhart. Bob retired from Brownsdale Meats in 1997, but the word “retirement” was never part of his vocabulary. He started a school bus company, delivered trucks across the country, worked for friends on their farms, and volunteered at a nonprofit community thrift store.
