Bob was born on May 9, 1951, to Gerald John & Hazel Genevieve Sullivan in Douglas, WY. As a young child he moved to Northglenn, CO and later attended Northglenn High School, graduating class of 1969.
After graduating, he explored several careers including writing & truck driving. He eventually found his love in the Limousine Business. He love telling the stories of the interesting people he met while Chauffeuring (including celebrities, Make-a-Wish families and just generally fun and interesting people). He eventually moved from driving to dispatching and then becoming the General Manager of MT Limousine Worldwide. As his boss said they call him "Mr. Everything."
Bob was a lover of all things Country, Rodeo and Cowboy! As a younger man, Bob rode bareback until a leg injury prevented him from continuing. He attended the PRCA Hall of Fame several times. He was most at peace was when he was with horses.
Bob was chivalrous, kind, funny man who loved dancing. You could find him nearly every weekend dancing away at a country dance hall.
Bob was Baptized on November 11, 2017, where he publicly announced God as his salvation and accepted Him into his heart and life.
He was a tough cowboy and has been at Heaven's gate several times before walking away from two heart attacks, a near fatal head injury in a trucking accident, throat cancer and leukemia. On October 6, God spread his arms and welcome his Cowboy Angel. Bob is now rocking that Cowboy Hat with a new set of wings.
