They would go on to be married 69 1/2 years and have five children. Carolyn was a homemaker whose life work was to raise their children and keep her home in meticulous condition at all times. She hosted many family gatherings while cooking wonderful meals to be enjoyed by all. Carolyn and Bob enjoyed traveling with their family when the children were young. One very memorable trip included two parents, four children, Taffy (family dog) in a sedan hauling an 18-foot travel trailer around the county for five weeks.
