Along with numerous great and great great nieces and nephews.

A man of faith, deeply loved by all. Bob was a jack of all trades in his lifetime, retiring in 2010. He enjoyed watching sports, sitting outside listening to the birds and reading his bible. Bob was a soft spoken man, but he loved being surrounded by the ones who were dear to him. He always liked it dark in the house, you would think he was saving electricity. But he would always say “I like it dark in here, because I look better in the dark.” Which would be followed by a deep chuckle that could make the grumpiest person crack a smile. You would often find him up late looking for a tasty snack, his favorite were potato chips. Just to turn around and find him up early in the morning watching the early morning news channels. It is the little things that we will notice over the upcoming months, but I pray you think back and smile at all the wonderful cherished memories that each of you have.
