Bob, as he was known by most, was loved by his family and friends. A tool and die maker by trade; he loved solving problems and planning things out! He also enjoyed gardening, cultivating grapes and feeding his guests great meals. To his grandchildren, Robert was "Papa". He was always the most devoted fan and usually the loudest spectator at high school sporting events! Bob loved camping, dogs, his Honda Goldwing and trips to the U.P. He also loved sending neighborhood kids on a snipe hunt! Most of all though, Robert loved teaching his children, his grandchildren and even their friends how to solve problems using good old fashioned common sense and by alway doing it right the first time! Robert will be very much missed by his surviving children, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, his brother and sisters, many other relatives, friends and neighbors. Robert wished to have his remains cremated. His family will host a Life Celebration event in the near future.
