Ninety-eight years young, Bob died reluctantly on October 2, 2024. He was preceded in death by his sweetheart and wife, Seva Kretchmar Twin, who he “loved with every cell in his body” for 72 years and every day after. Bob was the devoted son of his late parents, Lena and Louis Twin. He was the loving father of Nan Twin, Christy Twin and her husband, Larry Rudolph. Affectionately called “Geeko,” he was the adored and proud grandfather of Samantha Rudolph and Jared Miller and Philippa and Adam Loewy. His greatest joy was doting on great-grandsons Exton and Oden Miller and Clayton and Lochlan Loewy. Bob was the dear brother of the late Dr. Edward and Margaret Twin and honorary big brother of Richard Wolf. He was the cherished uncle of Stephanie Twin and Richard Smuckler.

Bob was a World War II veteran, a Washington University graduate and a business owner of S & K Sales. He thought he was the luckiest man alive. Bob never complained, was fiercely independent and remained an eternal optimist. He was smart, funny, generous, kind and charming. Bob’s genuine goodness, twinkle in his eyes and boyish enthusiasm drew individuals of all generations to him. He often joked “trouble was his middle name.” An avid Cardinals fan, Bob also enjoyed traveling, golfing, bowling and solving word jumbles.

Above all else, he dearly loved his family. Bob believed, “The key to growing old was having brilliant grandchildren and great grandchildren.” Bob died as he lived, the quintessential gentleman and mensch. Always grateful, Bob thanked every family member and treasured friend for sharing their lives with him.

To honor Bob’s request, there will be no service, visitation or monetary remembrance tributes. Please only celebrate his life with an ice cream and a smile.
