Robert "Bob" Morris Steinbrink

Robert M. Steinbrink, age 66 of North Branch, passed away at his home on October 25, 2018, surrounded by loving family, after a strong and courageous battle with lung cancer.

Robert was born August 31, 1952 in Mt. Clemens to the late Robert and Bernice (Quandt) Steinbrink.
