Robert "Bob" Richard Liebmann

To have known Bob is to love him. Known for his constant smile, warm blue eyes, humble demeanor, kind heart, and thankful spirit, Bob always seemed to see the best in others. He valued hard work, loyalty, his relationship with Jesus Christ, family, and helping others. Bob was born on December 10, 1948, in Miami, Florida to Richard and Mable Liebmann. He grew up in Miami where he enjoyed playing guitar, working on cars, playing football, boating, water skiing, fishing and singing with Youth for Christ. Bob graduated from Miami High School and went on to attend Miami Dade Community College. Bob worked as an auto-mechanic before attending Miami Fire College. He graduated fire college on May 10, 1973, upon entering his long-standing career as a City of Miami Firefighter. Bob aka 'Smiley' as they called him at the station, faithfully served the City of Miami Fire Department for 30 years from 1973-2003. Bob married the love of his life, Beth or 'Bethy' as he called her on March 7, 1975, and faithfully loved, cared for, and supported her for 44 years. Together they had two amazing girls: Laura and Leigh who were Bob's pride and joy. Throughout Bob's life, he faithfully served the Lord through various ministries in the church serving as an Usher for the majority. In his later years, Bob enjoyed playing golf, working with his hands, venturing to the mountains of Boone, North Carolina, days spent in his boat on the water, and quality time with Beth, Laura and Leigh, or as he referred to them, 'his girls'. Bob radiated warmth, kindness, love, and compassion to anyone fortunate enough to encounter him on this earthly journey. Bob's ever-present smile and spirit will live on in every life he touched and through his beautiful legacy he has left to his family. To have known Bob is to love him. One of Bob's dearest friends said it best. 'Bob was one of the good ones.' -- A Celebration of Life service will be held to honor Bob's life on Tuesday, May 28th at 11am at Christ Fellowship, Royal Palm Campus: 9905 Southern Blvd, Royal Palm Beach 33414.
