Robert A. Krinke

Robert Alan Krinke, 81, of Livingston, Montana passed away on November 9, 2026.

He was born in St. Paul, MN on June 3, 1945 to Russell and Florence Agnes (Brennhofer) Krinke. The family moved to Livingston, MT in the early 1950’s. He attended St. Mary’s Catholic School and graduated from Park High School in 1965. After graduating Bob proudly served in the United States Navy for four years and was honorably discharged.

Bob married the love of his life, Diana Jean (Domke) Krinke in February of 1970. They were blessed with two daughters, Tracy Lynn and Melissa Dawn.

He was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. He worked for Utility Line Contractors based out of Billings, Mt. and throughout the state for seven years before going to work for Park Electric Co-op based here in Livingston, where he worked until his retirement in 2002. He enjoyed his job and the comradery he had with his fellow workers.

Bob enjoyed hunting, fishing and spending time with his family and friends at their cabin in the Crazy Mountains.

Bob is survived by his wife, Diana Krinke; daughters, Tracy (Robert) Burleigh of Evanston, WY and Melissa (John) Brezney of Belgrade, MT; grandchildren, Spencer Burleigh, Sierra Burleigh, Bridger Tecca and Logan Tecca; brother in law, Doug Domke and all his friends and extended family.

He was preceded in death by his childhood lifelong friend, Bob Parker and good friend, Richard Tonneson.

He will surely be missed but not forgotten! He has gone on to join his special puppy, Sammy.
