Special thanks to Kevin, Kyle, Tracey, Jeff, Jason and Mikey for their love and honoring Bob’s wishes during this time. His family is thankful for each of you.

His family will remember him as a man’s man. He was the type of person who would choose to repair something over buying a new one. He valued hard work, honesty and the value of a man’s word. Big Jeff Gordon fan, one could find Bob watching the race and always having something to say during the race if he wasn’t caught resting his eyes a minute or two. What Bob enjoyed even more was a game of pool. Member of the APA of Orlando for over twenty years his home away from home every Thursday night was pool league. Highly skilled in both 8-ball and 9-ball Bob played with some of best and against some of the best.

A Celebration of Life will take place at a later time and will be announced.
