A devoted and loving father, Bob was deeply involved in the lives of his two sons. He was their biggest supporter, cheering them on through countless games and matches. Known and loved by many in the stands, his presence was a constant source of encouragement and pride.
Bob had a lifelong passion for sales, with a career spanning over 40 years in the industrial chemical industry. He was dedicated to cultivating strong relationships with clients and partners, driving growth through thoughtful strategy and an unwavering work ethic. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for others set him apart in his field.
An avid skier, Bob had a deep love for winter. His excitement was contagious—he often counted down the days to ski season, sharing his enthusiasm with friends and family alike. He embodied a zest for life and a passion for all things cold.
Bob also found peace and belonging at St. John Neumann Church, where he served faithfully as an usher for many years.
He will be remembered for his kindness, his commitment to family, and his joyful spirit.
