Bob had various jobs, but trading was his passion. Bob never met a stranger. With his Roy Rogers good looks, loving life and the Lord, he always had a smile, handshake and a big hug for anyone. He was vigorous, charming, outgoing, steadfast and “a li’l” ornery. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
