Bob, passed away peacefully on December 7, 2023, in Fort Worth at the age of 69.

Bob dedicated his career to the field of hydrogeology, where his expertise and unwavering commitment were highly regarded. His contributions left an indelible mark inspiring those who followed in his footsteps.

In his free time, Bob enjoyed fishing and camping. He loved visiting the coast with his family where he would wait patiently in the surf, rod in hand, ready to reel in the next big one. He found solace in nature and with his background in geology could identify a fossil at ten paces. He was an avid sports fan, and spent several seasons proudly coaching his son's baseball teams.

Bob's family held a special place in his heart. He is survived by his son, Tim, stepdaughters Sarah and Maggie, his father Bob, stepmother Elly and brother Tom.

In honor of Bob's life, a private memorial service will be held at a later date to celebrate his journey. He will be remembered for his generous nature and curiosity for life.
