Bob was a truly special and kind man who was loved by all who knew him. He will always be remembered for his love for life, his positive attitude, his great sense of humor and his talkative nature. Bob was a determined and strong-willed man and these traits helped him fight through many obstacles in his life, more recently the stroke that he suffered.

Bob cared for many people especially his family who he was extremely close with and many wonderful friends and neighbors he has met throughout his life. Bob will be missed by his Boston Terrier, Claire who he loved walking and talking to anybody in their walking path along the way.

Bob was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and he ushered football games at Heinz Field as an activity to keep him busy after retirement. Bob enjoyed cooking, spending time at the pool and being in the sunshine, and really grew fond of his home in Mount Joy. He loved spending time with his grandson, Vance who brought him much joy up until his final hours.
