Bob devoted his life to farming, feeding beef cattle, and raising hogs. The highlight was supervising loading feeder cattle out west each year and rushing back home as the farm could not run without him. He loved his chocolate and never turned down dessert, always needing to have a stash of Snickers or M & M’s. With a humorous wit, he loved to get a rise out of everyone and was never at a loss for words. Bob was a proud grandfather and has left a legacy to his grandchildren through his stories and antics.
