Bob especially loved cheering on his nine grandchildren at countless games and performances. He was always their biggest fan. He also found great joy at Miami View Golf Club, where he treasured the camaraderie and memories made including sharing the love of the game with his daughters and grandchildren. Being a lover of cars, his career of nearly 50 years was spent in the automotive industry and Bob was always willing to share his experience, knowledge, and mentorship. With a twinkle in his eye, Bob was witty and always positive. He will be remembered for his kindness, strong work ethic, deep love for his wife, and the pride he took in his daughters, their spouses, and grandchildren. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched with his warmth and generosity.
