He loved going on rides and bike runs with the love of his life Renee. Bob and Renee did everything together and found the true love they both searched their whole lives for in each other. Bob was a great father and there for any of his kids needs at anytime. He enjoyed helping with house projects and just being around his kids in general. Bob had many grandchildren, he loved going to all their sporting events, birthday parties, and just showing up at random times to see them. Bob had a smile and a joke for everyone.
