Bob and Barbara's passion for golf led them to Savannah GA, Skidaway Island.
After the passing of Barbara, he met Jane Noyes and they were married January 29, 2002. Jane and Bob enjoyed golf, music, friends and Jeopardy. With Jane by his side, Bob met his last few years of physical trials with a continued zest for life and love for his family.
