Over the years Bob did everything he could to provide for his family. He enjoyed working out in the yard, planting wildflowers and working his garden. Bob and his brother Cecil worked hard to build the house that he and Garnet raised their children in. He attended the Church of the Nazarene where Bob was faithful to his Lord and Savior, serving him anyway he could. He always enjoyed the old hymns that they sang in Church.
