He was a member of the Idaho National Guard. His son Dan was born in 1970 and son Brett in 1973. In 1976, the family moved to Hailey. While in Hailey he built the family a wonderful home in Indian Creek, north of Hailey. He was involved in several business ventures including construction, real estate and his last, Sun Valley Hot Tub Service. In 2006 Bob & Pat retired and made another move to Boise.
Bob was a great bowler, accomplishing a "300" game. He loved to hike and climb mountains. He turned two vans into campers. His favorite trip was a trek to the Himalayas in India.
No services are planned at this time. His ashes will be scattered by his sons on top of a favorite mountain.
