On June 29, 1945 he married his high school sweet heart and the love of his life Miss Mildred Campbell. They celebrated over 65years together be for his passing.

Bob was a loving and devoted husband and father, but his greatest legacy was his relationship with his Lord Jesus Christ. He came to know the Lord at an early age and faithfully served him all his life. Bob and Mildred have been faithful and active members of the Groveport Church of Christ for over the past 15 years.

Bob was an avid golfer and sports fan and enjoyed watching his Buckeyes, but his greatest enjoyment was spending time with his wife and family.
