Bob loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, developing land for hunting, and waterskiing. He was very family-oriented and took much pleasure in spending time with his children and grandchildren. His deepest passion was his relationship with Jesus Christ, which he expressed with great devotion in service to his church and his relationships with others in the church. He felt very close to his friends at Wildwood Presbyterian Church and Celebration Baptist Church.
