Bob enjoyed cooking and grilling for his sons and their friends. Quiet and unassuming, and yet a proud Marine, you could easily elicit an entertaining reaction by asking him, “What did you do in the Army?”
Bob was preceded in death by his mother, Irene, and leaves behind his wife Marsha; sons, Jason Robert, Omaha, Neb., Kirk David, KCK, and LCPL USMC Keith Michael, stationed in Quantico, Va.; father, William H., and brother, Clyde D., both of Nevada; sister, Ruth E., KCK; grandchildren, Erica and Jacob of Omaha, Neb.; and his two dogs, Psycho (crazy) and Sadie.
