Many of the “Old Timers” have passed on leaving Bob as one of the oldest members at Sandston Moose Family Center – something he was very proud of! Bob was an active member of Sandston Moose Family Center #1937 for 57 years. He was a Lodge Ritualist for ten years and Grounds Maintenance Chair for 30 years. Bob served the Moose Fraternity in many capacities from the lodge level, the state as State President, Moose Legion Ambassador, Moose Legion Secretary, and Moose Legion Ritual Judge. He served on the international level of the Moose Fraternity as the International Moose Legion President and as the Area Manager.
Bob never met a stranger! He was outgoing, friendly, and always ready to talk Moose! Oh, yes, most of you know he loved his “Pepsi Colas”. Through his travels with the Moose Legion, he made many new friends and the friendships have never wavered, covering the United States and Canada.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, January 13, at 11 a.m. in Washington Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Moose Charities, 155 S. International Dr., Mooseheart, IL 60539.
