Bob was one of my favorite persons in the world. Bob played so many roles in my life starting with co-worker then Golf coach, partner in crime, and an amazing friend. Even though I have not met the family & Friends, I feel I know you from our daily conversations. He loved visiting Heather and so proud of her Career & grandkids. Justin going camping with him. His son’s dinners. His camping friends truly helped him through the first year after the loss of Sue. He looked forward to every weekend. He often expressed gratitude for GodWorks & Meals on wheels for the ability to help others that were in the same age group & he was healthy and able to do it. Bob had the biggest heart I have ever known, even though he played the grumpy full head of hair man. So many memories & moments will remain in my heart. So many great memories and moments

Tony: The first time I got to know Bob was when he taught me to cook at the Knights' breakfasts. He was totally comfortable in the kitchen and could talk and grill at the same time! He gladly helped out making meals for Welcome retreats for both men and women. Linda: Bob was always a gentleman even though he pretended to be gruff sometimes! He was such a fixture at church that I keep thinking I still see him there. It is a comfort to know that he and Sue are back together again. They were a devoted couple and best friends. Rest in peace, friend.

Mark and I will surely miss Bob at the campgrounds. We have been blessed to be a part of Bob (and Sue's) life for many years. Bob's positive influence and giving nature has made us better people and we are so grateful to have known him. He will not be forgotten.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
