Bob leaves behind a multitude of family, extended family and friends who will miss him dearly.
Bob had a love for life, and he loved creating something from nothing, tinkering with electronics, including building his very own version of the B9 Robot, and making the lives of everyone he loved, better. There isn't a challenge he wouldn't try, or a project he wouldn't tackle. It was fair to say, the more challenging the project; the more determined he was to take it on.
Music was always an important part of Bob's life, and he loved playing his guitar or bass, and singing. Over the years he played in several local bands and was never shy about performing. He loved sitting around a campfire jamming with family and friends.
Bob's favorite saying and philosophy for living a happy life, "Anytime is a good time to take a nap."
A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held Tuesday, April 11th 2023 from 5pm to 8pm at the Thompson Funeral Home.
