Bob and his late wife Sharon founded Bohs Well Drilling, Inc. in 1972 and maintained it for over 40 years. He enjoyed singing and dancing starting at an early age and had quite an eclectic musical taste.

He also loved to fish, mow his lawn, golf, loved going out to eat and enjoyed attending (when his health allowed) Grace Bible Church to hear the Gospel on Sunday mornings. Because of his love for the Lord, he took great pleasure in blessing many people and helping when he could.
