He had a busy career and was an active father in his children’s lives.

After his retirement, he enjoyed spending time in his shop building all sorts of things. He was the go-to person when neighbors or grandkids needed anything mechanical. He had a creative, inquisitive mind and was always thinking. He loved technology, home automation, and 3d printing, and spent time building robots. He once got a call from a grandson asking for help with a physics project. He went to the garage, built the required component, and spent over a hundred dollars to have it overnight shipped to him for his class the next day.

Bob will be loved and missed by his family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and good friends.
