The true love of his retirement came from his time with his wife Josie.

Bob was a fun loving man that never missed an opportunity to laugh with people he loved. He always made everyone feel welcomed to be around. He loved to sit and have conversations on just about anything someone had interest in. His education was so well rounded, he would speak effortless on any subject. Talking to him was always a joy with an offer of a glass of wine and a meal. He was very accomplished and well rounded but, very humble about his accomplishments. His unpredicted humor and friendship will be missed by many.

He enjoyed studying history, working on puzzles, watching classic movies and westerns, playing pool, playing cards, gambling in Vegas and traveling to New York City.

He was preceded in death by his Father; Francis and Mother; Elreno Lordon as well as his brother David Lordon.

He is survived by his wife; Josie Lordon, his children; Robert and Kimberly, his stepchildren; Nicholas and Jennifer and his seven grandchildren; Katy, Maddy, Robert, Patrick, Mariana, Ashlyn, Vincent, and Kyleigh.
