Bob was quite the athlete and later in life, he spent a lot of his time at the family lake house; swimming, boating and listening to music. He enjoyed traveling and one of his best memories was taking a family vacation to the Dominican Republic. He was always fascinated with the stars and was over joyed when he was able to witness the solar eclipse from our boat in the middle of the family lake. He was an avid supporter of his grandkids activities and he and Linda would travel the state to watch them. He loved all genres of music and would share that passion with his family. He enjoyed watching some of his favorite movies and musicals which included Fiddler on the Roof, Carmen Jones and the comedy, The Jerk.
