He will be remembered adoringly as “Uncle Bob”. Bob proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, later becoming a pilot to fly his personal aircraft. He was employed at Rawsonville Ford for over 30 years. Bob enjoyed fishing, golfing, camping and horses. He was very mechanically inclined; and could fix just about anything. He also played the harmonica and gospel songs on his guitar. Bob was an amazing uncle, and best friend that loved family and God. He was a longtime member of the Norvell Community Baptist Church and was a very straight forward, giving, unique individual, that would tell you how it was. Above all Bob was a devoted husband that cherished his wife. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
