Bob contributed to many local church Christian ministries: Bus Ministry, mission trips, and serving on past church boards. Bob always made himself available for family, friends, and community. His greatest joy was his family and his faith in Jesus. Bob enjoyed trains, baseball, and working on heavy equipment. Bob is known for his memorable storytelling and unique nicknames for his friends. He received his associate degree in engineering from Springfield Technical Community College. Bob leaves his wife and best friend of forty-three years, Patricia R.

Pat and family, Jim and I are so saddened to hear of Bob´s passing. He was such a kind and caring man. We had many conversations at the end of our driveway that always ended in a laugh. I will miss seeing him in the morning working in your yard bug net and all. I hope all of the good memories comfort you in this hard time.

“Bona” was one of the best. Kind and caring about others was one of his many great qualities. So glad I got to spend time with him a few weeks ago, he was so happy! I will miss him and his silliness for ever
