Bob grew up in Lansing, Michigan where he was a devoted member of Woodview Church of the Nazarene. After spending 2 years in the National Guard, he worked for the state of Michigan as a printer. He tirelessly provided end-of-life care for his three older sisters and Mother and subsequently retired to Birmingham to live with his brother and sister-in-law, John and Sandy Grabowski. Family gatherings became his joy as he was loved by nieces, nephews and grand nephews. His selfless, compassionate nature was an inspiration to his church family at Palmerdale United Methodist Church.
Bob was known for his quick wit, story-telling, paper airplane construction and domino dominance. Rest in peace, sweet Uncle Bob.
