Born and raised in Lansing. He was a very patriotic person who was proud to have served in the Armed Forces from 1956 – 1959. Bobby dedicated his life to his family and loved ones. He retired from GM in 2000 and enjoyed traveling with his late wife, family, and friends. He created many fond memories, camping, riding roller coasters, and giving his infamous “WOW” kisses to all the grandchildren who were humored by him.
He was a man of few words, who did not need many for you to know how much he cared. He rescued many of us in our time of need, whether someone was out of gas, needed help with towing a vehicle, or even re-wiring a house from several states away, guiding the hands of others through a phone conversation. He was a man of many talents and loved to share those talents with others. He will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace Papa.
