Bob was a 1971 graduate of Southport High School and also attended Vincennes University. He was a general contractor specializing in custom woodworking and carpentry. His love for creative woodworking followed him throughout his life. During his free time, Bob enjoyed taking his girls on spontaneous adventures and loving on his grandchildren. He also loved collecting unique treasures from local flea markets and garage sales for his man cave. He loved playing cards and games with his family, often cheating in order to win. He also enjoyed fishing,

critiquing movies, listening to all types of music and watching sports with his son in-laws.

Bob was always a friend to everyone. He followed in the footsteps of his own dad as he never met a stranger. He always made time to catch up with old friends and relatives. He was well known for his sense of humor; always making people laugh. He was a devoted husband of 48 years, cherished baby brother, loving father, proud Papaw and loyal friend. He led his family with a firm foundation of faith in Christ. Although he will be dearly missed, we find great comfort in knowing that he is now peacefully living with the Lord.
