He was a member of the Moose Club, Elks, and Eagle Lake Legion.

Bob married his high school love, Janet, in 1973. Bob loved his Lake Washington home, especially the lake view, eagles flying and a big screen TV, making sure the living room was arranged to enjoy all three. He enjoyed fishing, deer hunting, snowmobiling, tubing his grandsons and pontoon rides. He also loved watching his 5 grandsons play sports. Bob was an avid dog owner and loved his two goldens, both named Breezie and three grand dogs, Jimbo, Penny and Millie. Bob loved telling jokes and his quick wit will be fondly remembered by family and friends.
