Mr. Bob was a passionate family man, a true patriot, sports enthusiast and avid hunter. He enjoyed the holidays with family all around. His favorite holiday was 4th of July, and he would make sure his yard and pool was immaculate for all the family and friends that would come for barbecue, swimming, homemade ice-cream, watermelon and a fireworks finale (hoping no firetrucks would be needed). He always made sure the flag was flying high.
He loved watching football, once dreamed of being a coach. He also enjoyed baseball, basketball, women’s college fast-pitch softball and women’s college basketball.
His home away from home was his hunting camp in Mississippi where he enjoyed spending time alone with his beloved wife or sitting in his favorite deer stand formerly known as #8 but then fondly known as “Pappy’s stand”.
