He loved planting gardens from seeds in his greenhouse, planting flowers and even making flowerpots for the community of Rhame.   He also bladed roads for the county and townships.  He sold Winchester rifles and enjoyed hunting and fishing.  Bob even traveled to Mexico and Canada for some of his fishing and hunting adventures.  Bob will be missed by his many friends and his family.
