Crossword puzzles were also another one of his passions. Bob and Barb loved to dance and travel, especially to beach destinations and enjoyed many visits with his children and grandchildren.

Bob was a gentleman with an infectious smile and laugh, he was kind, loving, funny and had a beautiful singing voice and often serenaded those around him.
