While at NNC, Robert met and later married Rosemary Weekly in 1964. Through the years, Bob laid carpet to pay the bills, but preaching the gospel was his passion. His goal was always seeing souls come to the cross, and the focus of his ministry, particularly in his later years, centered on the prayers of the saints. He pastored churches in Oregon, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Washington State. Robert attained his bachelor's degree in Theology from Bethany Nazarene College and his master's degree in Divinity from Northwest Nazarene University. In 1999, Bob married Veda Dyer Bond. After retiring from the pastorate in 2012, Bob and Veda moved to Payette, Idaho. He is survived by his wife, Veda, his sons, Daniel (Margaret) Maine and Eric (Stacy) Maine, his stepdaughters, Luella (Kevin) Powell and Cindy (Brian) Byers, and many grandkids and great grandkids. Robert was preceded in death by his infant son, Henry Terrell Maine, and his stepdaughter, Regina Bond Tines. In lieu of flowers, the family is accepting monetary gifts (Cash or Check to Veda Maine) to help with expenses. Service Details.
