Sons, Brad and Brian (Scottsdale, AZ); Daughter-in-law’s, Diana, and Susan; 7 Grandchildren, Emerald, Alexa, Slater, Parker, Landon, Jada, and Weston Zellers.  Robert “Bob” was born in Greenfield, Iowa on June 5, 1938 the second child of the late Walter Myers Zellers and Helen Ellis Zellers of Greenfield, Iowa. His only sibling, Richard Zellers, passed away in June 4th, 2020 at the age of 89.  Bob grew up on a small family farm just north of Redfield farming and raising livestock. Bob then met Betty Elaine Feller, of Redfield, Iowa, when they were in high school together. He drove his family’s 1949 Ford pickup truck on dates to see fifty cent movies and hoped for some leftover money for a little treat at the local DQ. They married on November 30th, 1958 and eventually moved to Fort Dodge working for Cargill and then purchased and operated Mid States Grain Company. He also co-owned Casey’s General Stores in Fort Dodge with Jerry Diamond. Bob also owned Bolt Security Inc. along with his two son’s Brad and Brian who helped with the sales and operations. After moving to Rio Verde, AZ to retire he started Bolt Security Inc. In 1987, a few years later his two boys joined him to help grow the business. In 2002 Bob and Elaine then moved to Prescott, AZ until 2018 when they decided to move back to Scottsdale to be closer with their family.  The simplest pleasures in life brought Bob joy, he loved waking up early to read the paper and check the markets. He loved spending time golfing, traveling, and watching his grandchildren’s sporting events, dancing competitions, pageants and school activities. He also took pride in carving the turkey and prime rib for the holidays, in which he nailed every time. When bored he turned to baking homemade cookies and desserts. He believed it was important to always pay it forward. He was positive and always said to look forward, not back. He was loved very much by his family and he will be missed dearly.
