Robert “Bob” Arthur Lund passed away on January 1, 2026.

Born in Ladd, IL, he was a son of the late Theodore and Louise Lund. He was also preceded in death by one brother, Teddy Lund.

Bob was a valued member of the Fairview community, owner of Mooseridge Construction and diehard Raiders fan. He will always be cherished as a devoted husband and father. Anyone who knew Bob, knew that he was a retired chef who welcomed all to his house for a meal and conversation.

He is survived by his wife, Janette Kaufman-Lund; son, Matt Lund (Lauren Wade); daughter Kasey Lund (Ben Burnette); sister, Cindy Wills, niece Katie Lapinski; nephews, Joe Lund and Brandon Wills and sons in marriage, Shawn Kaufman and Aaron Kaufman.

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.”

A Memorial Gathering will be held at a later date. The Lund family and Groce Funeral Home will announce the arrangements.

  9. Bob showed me kindness when I needed. He supported his friends and was a loyal man. He took pride in his work, was intelligent and willing to share his knowledge with anyone willing to learn.
    I appreciate the time I had with Bob and am glad our paths crossed when they did. He will be missed greatly by many.

  12. My deepest condolences. I’ll never forget the Thanksgiving dinners and the Christmas get togethers. Earlier this week I was telling my wife about Bob’s record collection I used to go through to play music during the parties.

  14. I hired Bob to work on two of my houses, starting in 2010. From the very beginning we worked as a team. I researched what I wanted, and Bob made it happen. He was always upbeat despite work crew and supply difficulties along the way. I’m very saddened by his passing.

  15. Bob and I met as contractors -he as a builder and myself a painter doing most of his construction paint work for the last 17 years through which we became great friends.Our house was hit by trees by Hurricane Helene. I only wanted Bob to do the reconstruction as he was a honest man man who completely trusted to handle the job. He was genuine and easily became friends with his customers, loved greatly by his family and was a pleasure to work with him closely for so many years. John Harwood

  17. As relatively new next-door neighbors away at the time, we were shocked to learn of Bob’s passing on New Year’s Day. Though we didn’t chat or interact often, when we did he was always interesting and enjoyable. Bob was one of a kind. Our deepest condolences to Janette and family on their loss.

  21. I still can’t believe he’s gone…
    Bob has done so much for me over the years… So much so that i don’t know where to begin…
    He gave me a job before he even really knew me! He gave me a home when I had nowhere else to go! For 12 years in a row he fed me on Thanksgiving! Bob would give the best advice & tell you how it is! (And he wouldn’t sugar coat it!)
    There was a time when I sow Bob as my 2nd Dad… I truly regret not being around the past few years… Yet I know if I had just showed up at his house out of the blue, he would have invited me in, handed me a beer, & treated me like I had never left…
    Bob was a one of a kind kinda guy! And I know he’s up there with his brother & parents looking over us with both eyes once again! 🫎

  22. I was very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. Through the many projects he completed on my home, I came to know him as honest, capable, and thoughtful—a professional I trusted and a friend I’ll truly miss.
