his first wife, Carla and their children, Dawn, Rebecca and Michele, his sisters Kris and Lisa, his brother, Rick, numerous nieces and nephews and six grandchildren.
Bob served in the US Army from 1964 until 1968. His time in the Army was spent as a Green Beret, jumping from airplanes and prowling the jungles of Panama. He had a deep love of all animals and was known for bringing home any sick, injured or stray animal he came across.
As a civilian, Bob worked a variety of sales jobs until he and Bettye took over and successfully ran Head Start Vitamins for more than forty years. Bob is missed by all who knew and loved him.
