Bob was a very gifted storyteller. He shared his stories with friends and family alike. He will be remembered for his smile, contagious laugh and humor. His favorite time of day was morning, he enjoyed a good breakfast and having his coffee on the porch enjoying the sunrise and the beautiful world around him. He enjoyed traveling, taking cruises, and many walks with Carolyn, his loving wife of 59 years. He loved listening to Carolyn play the piano. One of his favorite places to visit was Gatlinburg, TN. Bob enjoyed playing cards and board games, the St. Louis Cardinals, but most of all, togetherness of his family. He was a devoted son, husband, father, and grandfather.  Bob was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
