Bob loved talking about the Lord to anyone who listened, and even to those who didn't! He loved puttering in his workshop by himself, or working on projects with his kids. He was very knowledgeable about music and could rattle off random facts about the history and the lyrics of the song. He also loved to listen to music and would spend hours listening to various artists, new and old.

A hard worker, Bob endured many hardships in order to finish the race. Bob loved his children, and was his kid's biggest fan and would talk to anyone about them – specifically recalling old games, conversations and details like nobody else could.

He loved his property in upstate New York, affectionately known as "The Pond," where he spent years caring for the land and making a lifetime of memories with his family.

Bob's ancestors were from the American Revolution and he loved learning and sharing stories about it. His favorite book was the Bible and he could quote any scripture by heart. He was an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on.

He loved traveling with his wife, especially visiting their children, throughout the country. He was so happy to buy his dream home in Strasburg, Pennsylvania and buy his wife her dream car. He loved to have everyone together for Thanksgiving.
