Bob Shinkle Jr., 75, of Moores Hill, Indiana, passed away on Saturday, June 10, 2023. He was born March 19, 1948, in Milan, Indiana, son of the late Robert and Bonnie (Ashcraft) Shinkle.

Bob was the oldest of six and he took on his Big Brother role proudly. He carried that on in all aspects of his life. He was known to care for many. He was a founding father and the first standing president of Aurora Harley of Cochran (1980). He was a long-serving employee of Aurora Casket Company (25 years) and a union plasterer for Omni Fireproofing. Bob was happy when he was with his brothers and family and happiest when riding on two wheels. He enjoyed having cold Bud Lights and hanging in the shop. Bob was a legend and we have no doubt that he’s enjoying his final ride.  

He is survived by his son, Bobby (Angel) Shinkle; three daughters, Tanya (Michael) Milliron, Lisa (Danny) Brewer, Amber Drew; two brothers, Tim (Chiquita) Shinkle, Robin Shinkle; his brother from another mother, Jack McConnell; three sisters, Beverly Owens, Toni (Jack) Waters, Jodie Dale Shinkle; six grandchildren, Shelby (Dakota) Knue, Brett (London) Bondurant, Hayden Shinkle, Destiny Combs, Jayden Combs, Johnny Combs; and his six great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Shinkle Sr., mother, Bonnie Shinkle, wife, Sandi Shinkle, and his beloved dog, Lita.
