Bob loved his family more than anything. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend. He loved spending time with his family on the farm. He loved his beloved wife Sandra, of 28 years and they shared a love of nature and animals. His kindness, humor, and caring ways were felt by everyone he knew. He will be missed terribly by everyone who knew him, and will leave precious memories for all to remember him by.
Bob retired from the Air Force in 1992 with 20 years of service and retired from Civil Service in December 2014. He was a very dedicated and hard worker and served his country with honor, distinction, and pride. Bob loved watching college football and was an avid Alabama fan. He also enjoyed playing the guitar, singing, and listening to country music.
