Robert "Bob" Doerter, 90, of Evansville, passed away Sunday, September 12, 2010, at his home.
He was born February 14, 1920, in Evansville to Carl O. and Margaret (Miller) Doerter. Robert was the second child of the family of three sons.

Bob graduated from Bosse High School in 1937. He worked for Evansville Federal Savings and Loan Association for 30 years and retired in 1983 as President and Board Member. During World War II, Bob was a tank driver with the 4th Armored Division through France and Germany until the end of the war.

In 1941, Bob married Helen Jennings and they have been blessed with 69 years of marriage. They have two children, Bill Doerter (Pam) and Jill Doerter Brunton (Walter); five grandchildren, Max (Mindi), Nick, Casey, Clay and Jenna; one great-grandchild, Daxton; and brothers, Carl W. Doerter and James O. Doerter.

Bob and Helen enjoyed playing tennis for many years and were early members of the Tri-State Raquet Club. They are also long time members of the Eastminster Presbyterian Church.

The Doerter's have been residents of Solarbron Pointe since July of 2003.

A private family celebration of life will be held at a later date.

I was so sad to open the paper this morning and see that Bob had passed away. I worked with Bob for many, many years at Evansville Federal and in that time was privileged to know many sides of him. He was a wonderful, caring man, a professional that went beyond the norm. He always treated everyone with respect and always had a smile on his face. I am so sorry for the family’s' loss and my heartfelt sympathy goes out to Helen. Such a long time to be with the one you love and now to have to spend time without him. He is in Gods' hands now and will be watching over the family. Love to all of you.

Bill & Jill, So sorry to hear of your fathers passing, we are loosing our heroes of WWII so quickly. We had a whole neighborhood full of them where we grew up on Conlin. I will always remember him as a kind and caring man. He opened my first saving account for me at about 10 years old and I still remember standing at the teller’s window like it was yesterday.

I have been gone and was saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I have so many fond memories of Bob playing tennis when I managed the Tri-State Racquet Club. He was a special person and liked by all. He was a special person.
