Following an Honorable Discharge, Bob graduated from Bliss College with a degree in accounting. As an accountant, he worked multiple jobs to support his family of six.

Bob’s pastimes included square dancing, “RedCoating” at Ohio State football games with his son, Stephen and genealogy which resulted in membership with the Sons of the American Revolution and First Families of Ohio.

Above all, Bob was a lifelong, faithful follower of Jesus Christ. His love of Christ was reflected in his selfless devotion to his family and his compassionate outreach to his community as a board member and financial counselor. He is fondly remembered by his grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren saying: “Praise the Lord!”.
