Bob served in the United States Army for three years where he achieved medals in sharpshooting and hand grenades. He was an active member of American Legion Lysle Rishel Post #68 Legion Riders. Bob was an outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, camping, and woodworking. Above all, his favorite outdoor activity was spending time on the open road with his motorcycle. When indoors, Bob enjoyed the solitude of painting and creating various works of art. He was truly the man with the plan who was prepared for anything that life brought him.
