Bob was a supreme chef who could create wonderful meals out of anything. He had a great sense of putting things together that tasted really good. He enjoyed gardening, and building a pole barn for his wife’s horses. He was a tender, loving father, who was proud of his children and grandchildren. He was compassionate, opinionated and very talented at most anything he put his mind to.
