Bob always loved having a good (and sometimes not so good) joke, he enjoyed camping at Jellystone Park, fishing, puttering in his shed, and collecting many treasures. Bob occupied 3 ^rd based in slow pitch softball until the ripe age of 48. His competitive spirit was often loudly heard cheering on the Starfires from the north bleachers, near the goal, during basketball games. He too loved all things IU, Cowboys and Colts.
