His love of fishing and hunting with his beloved father as well as his love of great southern food and bacon grease was legendary.
Greater still was his love of family. Bob Jr., Matt and Susan have become exceptional adults who have blessed him with so many proud accomplishments.

The funeral service is scheduled for 2pm on Sunday, May 5th at Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Sanford with a reception to follow immediately after the service.
While always a dog lover, when Bob first saw the soon to be family Chihuahuas, he said that no little rat dogs would be allowed in the house, however "Baby" soon broke into his heart and converted him to a Chihuahua lover and was by his side for years.
As such, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Pet Rescue by Judy (Sanford).
