  William Robb Jeffrey, Jr., 76, of Lexington, Nebraska, passed away Wednesday, April 30, 2014, at Plum Creek Healthcare Community in Lexington. Robb was born January 25, 1938, in Lexington, Nebraska, to William Robb and Doris (Spear) Jeffrey, Sr. He was a Lexington High School graduate with the class of 1957, and went on to further his education at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, where he earned a Letter in collegiate shooting sports.  In 1959, Robb joined the Nebraska National Guard where he served for 30 years. He was active in the National Guard Rifle and Pistol Teams, where he attained the highest award for marksmanship. He retired as 1st Sgt. of the Lexington Unit. During those years he also ranched. Robb was an accomplished pilot and in later years he flew his Power-parachute. Robb was a lifetime member of the NRA, where he achieved the 2nd highest level of distinction in the organization. He was also a member of the Elks Lodge in Cozad and the Eagles Club in Lexington. You could find Robb at his “office” AKA the Lakota playing cards on a daily basis with his buddies. He also enjoyed his special black angus rib-eye steaks, collecting coins, traveling, shooting, being with his beloved four-legged companions, or telling stories to whoever would listen. After 22 years of dating he married the love of his life, Sandy Skala Shreves, on August 10, 2003. Sandy passed away December 16, 2004.
