Bob was an avid outdoorsman who loved nothing more than hunting and fishing. He spent countless hours in the great outdoors, always seeking the perfect catch or the perfect shot. He took many trips to Alaska to visit family and friends and of course, to hunt and fish. Bob was also known for his exceptional baking skills. He was famous for his delicious apple pies and could often be found in the kitchen whipping up a pie, filling the house with the sweet aroma of cinnamon and sugar. Bob also had quite a green thumb and had large gardens with vegetables, herbs and flowers, and was proud to share what he had grown with family, friends, and neighbors.
Bob will be missed by all who knew him. He was a kind, gentle soul who loved the simple and quiet life. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather and friend.
