Bob was very active and generous. He was political active in the local Republican party and his love of card games found him regularly part of a Euchre group. He was known to indulge in $1 bets. He was a passionate golfer and gardener. He was known for giving away most of the vegetables he grew but many people returned the favor in delicious food he loved. But not as much as peanut butter which he was known to eat from the jar by the spoonful. Bob also was well known to local Cracker Barrels.

The family will have a visitation and Memorial service on Saturday March 4, 2017 from 2:00- 4:00pm at Conner & Koch LIfe Celebration Home, 92 W. Franklin St, Bellbrook, Ohio.
