iends from Boone and tried hard to keep in touch with all of them, even when he wasn't feeling good. We will all miss him so much. Bob is preceded in death by his parents, brother, Patrick Brice, sister Alice Lowe, brother Ed Brice and nephew Michael Bechtel. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 34 years, Linda, daughter and son-in-law Nichole and Jerry Bussanmas of West Des Moines, son Jeremiah Beal of Breckenridge, CO, sister Patricia Brice of Des Moines, IA, brothers Earl "Hap" (Susan) of Hutchinson, MN, Don (Gale) of Ames, IA , Tom of Coralville, IA, and sister-in-law Charlene of Boone, IA, and many nieces and nephews. Bob dearly loved his grandchildren, Nick (Kelsey) Bussanmas, Jordan (Nick) Woodard, Faith, Georgia and Holden Beal, Elle, Parks and Jae Bussanmas and his five great-grandchildren Breck, June and Sly Bussanmas and Lucy and Jack Woodard. We are so sad he won't be here to hold his great granddaughter who is coming in May but are sure he will be watching over us when she arrives.
