Bob Candee

Bob passed away peacefully with his family by his side.

He was born in Missouri, his family then moved to Fallon when he was a young boy, where they homesteaded. Bob graduated from Churchill County High School in 1947. He had a poultry business when he was called up to serve in WWII. During this time he met the woman he would spend the rest of his life with, Juanita Jackson.

Upon discharge from the military, they moved back to Fallon to begin their lives. Bob had the State Farm Insurance business for 37 years and also owned the Scarecrow Restaurant. He loved adventure and traveling.

Bob was preceded in death by his wife Jaunita, of 60 years, in 2017.

He is survived by his son Dale and wife Corie of Fallon, daughter Marilynn of Monroe, Oregon, five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date.

My parents bought their insurance from Bob for many many years and he was reliable and dependable. I can still remember seeing him at the Cock and Bull along with Thurman Hiskett and a long list of Fallon's greatest businessmen. I pray for Mr. Candee's family during this time. Fallon has loss another great businessman.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
