Bob had a heart for helping others. If there was something someone needed, Bob was quick to make sure they had it, whether he had to fix it or make it. He had hands for fixing, building and tinkering with things. Especially swingsets and go carts. He was always helpful and there to give his advice. Bob enjoyed a lot of things, including mowing his and his neighbor’s yard, fishing, taking care of his dogs and cracking a few jokes. He made sure every morning to make his solo trip to Whataburger to get his biscuits and gravy.
