Bob was one of the kindest men you would have ever met. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and he was always willing to lend a helping hand. He loved to camp, fish, hike, explore, and spend time with family.

Per his wishes, cremation has taken place. Private family services will be held. In memory of Bob and in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Hospice of Holland. The family welcomes memories and messages in their guest book online at www.cookcaresgrandville.com.
