Quentin and his one true love, his wife Betty, were happily married for 67 wonderful years. Quentin, better known as Bob, along with wife Betty were well known for owning and operating Tezak Florist in the downtown area of Joliet, Illinois for nearly 50 years.
Bob’s second “true love” was bowling, with an astounding average of 195. A handicap of only 15, explains why golf was Bob’s third “true love”.
