Bob's lifetime career in upholstery extended over 49 yrs before his retirement. He enjoyed traveling with family throughout the Caribbean and United States, and most any sport but in particular a love of golf. He played a competitive family game of croquet and horseshoes, had a passion for collecting old coins and restoring the interiors of old cars. His artistry and creative abilities touched us all. In his early years, he enjoyed ice skating and gymnastics with his father, severing as an exercise boy for race horses, and golf caddy to anyone that would hire his slight frame. Later years, he moved onto enjoying his Indian Motorcycle, side cart motorcycle, boxing, more gymnastics, swimming, softball, golf and tennis. In his travel, beach volleyball was a favorite. Bob and Dot loved dancing together throughout their lives with family and friends. They entered many a dance contest just for the fun of it. They both enjoyed boating, waterskiing and tubing. Bob had been a member of Turners, Knight of Columbus, and Moose Lodge (Lodge 5). He was a huge Kentucky Fan, Kentucky Colonel and a Jefferson County Reserve Deputy Sheriff (Badge SPS819). Above all his passion was helping people, working at the Prospect Fire Department's Children's Halloween Party, Church picnics', spending time at family reunions, time with his family and friends telling old stories on each other and laughing. He always had a joke and a good story up his sleeve. Bob's favorite response on how he was doing was "Just another Day in Paradise".
