During that time they mentored teens thru discipleship and a youth choir. Bob loved life. He loved the people with whom he worked and was well respected by all. As his boss said, "The day began and ended with Bob." He was a vital part of the company. Wildcat sports were his hobby, especially Friday night football. Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream was part of his nightly menu. He loved the annual family trips to Colorado and traveling with his wife. Bob and Dena made everyone feel like family and their door was always open. His family was of utmost importance and he always put others before himself. He was Pawpaw to many kids besides his own. Being a pawpaw was his highest priority and greatest joy. He was raised in the Nazarene Church where he was a member his entire life.
