Bob served in the US Navy from 57-59 as an E-3 Electricians Mate Powerhouse Engineer. He married Nina on May 12th, 1971, and together they raised 6 children. Bob always served his church in whatever capacity needed such as mowing the lawn, building stages, and sets, maintenance, communion server, usher, and deacon. 

He and Nina attended First Christian Church of Columbiana, OH, Gate City Christian Church of Pocatello, ID, Bethlehem Christian Church, and Trenton Crossing Church of Christ both in Clarksville, TN

He was always a woodworker who built and fixed things around the house whenever needed. He spent much of his time in the backyard gardening with his wife and was always willing to try new and interesting things. His corny dad jokes and big wide smile will be missed by many but we rejoice to know he is in the hands of the Father.
