Bob retired in 1982 after 30 years of employment with Bendix Corporation and also worked at Oliver’s for 7 years.  He was also self-employed in farming.  He was a great lover of the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, trapping and enjoyed wood working projects in his workshop.  Bob proudly served his country with the United States Navy during WWII.  He was a family man and centered his life around the love for his family.  There was nothing more special to him than his grandchildren and great grandchildren.  He leaves behind a wonderful legacy. Special thanks to Bob’s buddy, Tawana Robertson, for her kind and compassionate care over the last seven years.
