Bob served with the US Navy for 21 years and US Civil Service for 13 years. He enjoyed being outdoors as he was an avid fisherman and hunter in his younger years. Above all, he adored spending time with friends and family. Seeing his grandchildren made his face light up. He loved sharing a good laugh over his pranks and mischievous stories.
