Bob was a longtime member of Ora Gospel Chapel in Ora, IN. He was an outdoorsman who liked deer hunting and gardening of all kinds. Bob enjoyed trapping, a hobby he shared with his eldest daughter. He also enjoyed antique engines and never missed the annual Power Show in Winamac.
More than anything, family was paramount in Bob’s life. He was a loving and devoted husband and father who adored his grandchildren. His favorite saying to them was, “If Papa can’t fix it - nobody can!” Bob will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
