** Evelyn's comments on her mother and father, Glenn and Anna Marie Holler: **

Both my parents were workaholics. They never took a vacation because, as they averred, "Vacations are for rich people". Both of them were cold, and never gave me or my sister a hug or compliment.

** Notes on Robert Yankle by his son, Robert P. Yankle II **

The notes above are a fine thumbnail sketch, but they miss a lot. Dad was a natural born leader who usually got his way. Sometimes, however, when he didn't get his way, he'd get angry and leave. That didn't apply to his family life though ......

My mother has accused my Dad of being a womanizer. She's even averred that she would have left him if she'd had the monetary resources to do so. However, that never happened, and she lived with him until he died in Traverse City, Michigan, in 1997.

My memories of my father are firmly based in the Boy Scouts of America, Tall Pine Council, in Flint, Michigan. He was the Scoutmaster of Troop 280 at Gundry Elementary School, which had another troop, Troop 208, run by our next door neighbor. Dad worked at the A.C. Spark Plug Division of General Motors, also known as "Generous Motors" because they put so much money into scouting. I've noticed from the Family Tree that Dad's father, Harold Yankle, and my Uncle Dick were all involved in the scouting movement. Dad was instrumental in starting Horten Lake Camp (later known as Camp Holaka) in Lapeer Michigan, close to Flint, Michigan. He paid (from his own pocket) to send me to the Camp Director's Course to gain my certification to be a Camp Director. That foresight paid off the next summer when the fellow who was slated to be the Camp Director that summer left scouting, and I filled the vacancy. My father was an excellent instructor, teaching his troop to camp, cook, tie knots, and do first aid, skills which I carry to this day.

Dad wasn't much for demonstrating affection. We respected our father, usually out of the fear of being severly spanked if we went up against him. He had a fear of flying, and would have missed my second wedding to Lynne Chapman if Aunt Marge hadn't agreed to drive to Virginia Beach for the ceremony. He did make it, though, and served as my Best Man.

Re his fear of flying, Dad told me his own father, Harold, took him up in an open-cockpit airplane when he was just a boy. The pilot did a roll-over and my father was falling out of the airplane until his Dad reached out, grabbed him by the belt, and hauled him back into the plane. I can see where that might have been traumatizing!

In the last years of his life, my Dad and I finally talked as equals. He held my daughter, Aubrey, on his lap and read out loud to her when I told him that she loved stories. He and Mom had found a new vacation spot in Paradise, Michigan in the upper peninsula, and he was even planning to move up there. Events caught up with him, though, and he died before he could put those plans into action.

From the Yankle Chronicle, February 2004:

Robert Palmer Yankle was born April 16, 1922, in Flint, Michigan, the oldest son of Harold and Marian (Palmer) Yankle. He was the first of the Fourth Generation of Yankles, all of whom still lived in the state of Michigan. It was this generation of Yankles, however, who would first move to other states.
Bob grew up in the Civic Park area of Flint and graduated from Flint Northern High School in 1940.

Very soon after graduation, Bob was inducted into the Army and saw service during WWII. He served in Northern Africa, Sicily, and Italy.

Shortly after the war ended, Bob met and married Evelyn Lauryne Holler, who lived in Flint, Mi. They had 4 children, Bob, Svona, Kathryn, and Glenn Yankle and lived in Flint, Michigan until he took early retirement from A.C. Sparkplug and moved to Interlochen, Michigan in 1977.

Bob was actively involved in the Boy Scouts of America, serving as Scoutmaster of Troop 280, and as an active member of a number of Tall Pine Council planning committees. He was a natural born leader and planner. This desire to be actively engaged in community affairs carried through to his retirement as well. He took leading roles serving at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Golden Fellowship, the Commission on Aging, and the Interlochen Public Library.

Bob enjoyed gardening and he and Evelyn had the most beautifully landscaped gardens in their neighborhood. Only months after his 50th Wedding Anniversary, Bob died of esophageal cancer, exactly 2 weeks shy of his 75th birthday.
