A private memorial service will be held for the family in Pleasant Garden on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014. Cremation to follow.

Bob was married to Jane Shafer on Oct. 27, 1945; they were married 68 wonderful years.

A tradesman, Bob worked in the plumbing, carpentry and HVAC trades. His ability to create and build was truly a magnificent gift.
