Bob was a lifelong "Die Hard Cubs Fan", farming was his passion, he enjoyed farming with his brother-in-law and nephew. He was an avid farm toy collector going to countless toy shows over the years, and he loved to play cards in his spare time.
The greatest pride and joy of his life was being a loving husband and Dad, but most of all he was proud of being a Grampa and Great-Grampa and loved every minute he spent with his grandchildren.
He was of the Christian faith and loved and trusted his Heavenly Father all of his life.
