He retired from Rheem Water Heaters after 34 years. He enjoyed going to the beach; moving his chair to the edge of the water and just sitting and relaxing. Growing up he loved water skiing and fishing. He loved baseball and always rooted for the New York Yankees. Saturdays he watched his favorite college team and on Sundays he cheered on the Dallas Cowboys. He could watch gold as well, and every now and then go play 18 holes.

Bob really had a love for people; laughing, joking, and most of all telling people about the promises in his Christian ministry as one of Jehovah's witnesses.

He will be missed by many family, friends, and all the ones who knew him at the nursing home. He would want all to be happy and not sad and to remember the great times they had together. And to remember to laugh at the old times. He's in Jehovah's memory till we see him again. Isaiah 40:29-31.
