Bob and Florence retired to Lakeland, Florida in 1983 where they enjoyed the golden years, bowling, bingo, traveling and socializing, casino trips, and playing cards. Florence was a volunteer at Lakeland Regional Hospital and a member of the Church of the Resurrection. Florence had a love for music and singing. She was very proud to be a part of the Sweet Adeline’s singing group. She was extremely proud of the opportunity to travel to Rome to sing for the Pope along with her brother, Leo.
