Bob was active in the Korean War Veterans Association and planned several reunions around the country. He was an avid golfer. He loved his family and was an amazing father and grandfather. Bob was loved by all and never missed a sporting event, concert, birthday or any significant event for his grandchildren. He was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and friend; he will be greatly missed. Truly one of a kind, with a passion for life – the life of the party - who made the most out of every moment.
