Bob enjoyed playing horseshoes with his family and friends, and he loved the game of football. He was an avid bowler, enjoyed organizing Derby races, and Basketball pools.

He had a passion for planning family picnics and cookouts. And let’s not forget he could fix anything with a roll of duct tape.

Bob was always there for anyone who needed him, as he would say, “That’s what we’re here for”.
