On his off shifts from the fire department, Bob installed carpet for more than 30 years. During their time in Clovis, serving the Lord’s church was an important part of their life.

Bob served as a deacon for 16 years at 16th & Pile. After full retirement, they moved to Fort Worth, TX to be near their family and became active members of Southside Church of Christ in Fort Worth.
