Bob was a Seabee in the US Navy – active duty for 4 years and reserves for 14 years. He worked for Brown and Root in Bosnia for 8 years and Bell County Road and Bridge for 10 years.
Bob’s passion was riding his Harley and playing pool. He loved his “pool” family but his favorite thing to do was spending time with his grandchildren.
Bob suffered greatly with his heart disease but when asked: How he was doing, he would always say “Outstanding.” He never had an unkind word to say about anyone. He was loved by so many and will be greatly missed by all.
