His love for his church family was evident to all who knew him. Bob’s career led him to General Motors at the Buick Plant in Flint, where he devoted 34 years of service.
Among his passions, bowling held a special place in Bob’s heart. He eagerly looked forward to his weekly bowling outings, enjoying the camaraderie of friends and the thrill of the game. He held great appreciation for his friend Chuck Washburn, who picked him up each week and shared in the joy of his achievements. As a devoted Tigers fan, he cheered on his team with enthusiasm, and his affection for Scooby Doo brought smiles to all around him.
Above all, Bob cherished his family. He took immense pride in his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, finding endless joy in their presence. Bob’s legacy is one of love, faith, dedication, and a zest for life.
As we bid farewell to Bob, let us remember the light he brought into our lives and the warmth of his presence. His memory will forever remain in our hearts.
