Bob devoted much of his life to hard work and family. Bob was a steel worker by trade and a United States Marine Veteran. In addition to his work in the steel industry, Bob was the proud owner of the former Bob’s Bar in Bannock.

He was also an avid sports fan, reveling in the triumphs of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A man of camaraderie and fellowship, Bob was a proud member of the VFW Post 5356, the Lafferty Moose Lodge, and the American Legion, where he cherished the friendships and memories formed over the years.
