Bob married his wife, Glenna, on June 26, 2004 where he had the joy of experiencing being in a big family. One thing Bob loved very much was family time, visits, and functions.

He had an eclectic taste in art and loved paintings that showed the Texas landscape, bluebonnets being his favorites. He was a good man and was willing to do anything for anybody. He stood by his word, was honest and straight-forward.
