He was employed by Dick’s Automotive, Don Brennan’s 4 Corner Garage and plaza Tire. Bob put together Rory’s first motorcycle when he was 9 years old from spare parts. To the delight of Rory, it even had “5th gear”.

Bob enjoyed hunting, reloading, reading his “Shooter’s Bible” and watching Westerns, especially John Wayne and Military shows.

Besides his wife and son, he is survived by his brother-in-law Roland Johnson, his two grandnieces, Courtney and Michaela Beck and his grandnephew, Kyle Beck and their dad, Richard Beck and many cousins.
