Bob is figured to have worked in the Billings construction industry since about 1956. He purchased his own construction company in 1977 named Yellowstone Acoustics; the company specialized in interior finish for mostly commercial construction.

Bob was very involved in his community. He participated in almost all boards he could including the fire department of which he retired, the school board, sewer and cemetery boards. He was known for offering a helping hand to anyone who needed one. He always stayed busy finding projects around his place or around town.

If anyone knew Bob they would tell you he was a hard-working person who dedicated his being to his family, friends, and community. He also enjoyed telling stories from years past. Bob also loved the outdoors; especially hunting. It was always a passion of his not only because it was something he liked doing but also because it provided for his family.
