Bob was a member of Blessed Sacrament Church, but he raised his family at St. Mark’s Catholic Church, where he spent countless hours doing maintenance in both the school and the church. Bob loved to maintain and repair everything. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix.

He enjoyed helping his children repair and maintain their homes, and he loved attending his grandchildren’s activities whenever he could.
