Bob was an avid hiker.  He loved hiking in New Hampshire’s White Mountains.  He enjoyed refinishing antique furniture and the challenge of making the old look new again.  In his later years he loved to read, hanging out at Shari’s Restaurant and being a part of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church.

For those that knew Bob one theme was carried throughout his entire life, he was a kidder.  With a twinkle in his eye he loved to joke and tease.  His wit was unmatched and will be missed.  As he always liked to say, he has “Gone Home.”
