Bobby was the hardest working man that his family & friends have ever met. He loved the land and farmed it for most of his life. After retirement, Bobby grew several acres of gardens and sold the vegetables to keep himself busy. He was married to the love of his life for 65 years and his face lit up whenever she entered the room. He was an avid hunter and trapper his whole life. He also enjoyed trips to Alaska, whether it was for hunting wild game or taking his family on an adventure. In later years, his enjoyment came from the many stories that he would tell of his various travels and giving life lessons. Bobby loved to be surrounded by family and friends. His greatest joys came from watching his great grandchildren play and laugh.
