Bob has many different hobbies including playing golf, fishing, and riding with his Harley Davidson Riding Club. He enjoyed watching Stan play youth and high school sports and coaching his little league baseball games and umpiring select baseball games even after Stan was grown. He later loved helping coach Meleah’s youth coed baseball team. He was known as the #1 Grandpa of the Kaufman County Cowboys Football & cheerleading association when Meleah cheered.

Bob loved carpentry & his son Stan has followed in his footsteps.

His greatest joy was spending time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren. He spent hours keeping the pool clean & ready for the kids to swim. You knew you were loved if he enjoyed aggravating you and the more aggravated you got, the more he picked.

One of Bob’s proudest moments in life was getting to walk Teresa down the aisle and give her hand in marriage to Elias.

He enjoyed traveling to fun and exciting places with friends and family including a cruise in Alaska, a trip to Mexico with friends and he even traveled to Israel to follow the steps Christ made in Life.

Bob’s life was full of love and laughter. He made lifelong friends very easy and never met a stranger.

He will be missed by all that loved him and the many lives he touched.
