Growing up during the depression, dad always taught us to appreciate what we had and we learned by his example of how he lived his life to be a hard worker. Bob loved gardening, fishing, spending time with his family and teaching us everything he knew. He also enjoyed making bird houses in the shape of the state of Ohio and gave them away to people and his monthly get-togethers with his classmates from the Sharpsville graduating class of 1948 Bob always had a joke or 2 for everyone he met.
