We have known Bob for over 60 years. Don shared wonderful times with him hunting ducks, fishing streams and lakes, golfing at Sham, and playing basketball. Joan was Bob’s secretary for several years when he managed the Tech Grad program at Hanford. Don and Bob had the same birthday so we celebrated that event together as well as many other good times throughout the years. We will miss him. He was a great friend.
Bob was my CYO Basketball Coach as well as a father of David,one of my best friends during my high school years.
Bob was into hunting and fishing and I learned a lot from him! He taught us how to tie flies and how to be a better hunter. On one early morning winter duck hunting trip up the river, Dave and I were showing him our proficiency and safety of running up the river only to beach our ski boat on a rocky shoal. Bob was calm and cool and word never got back to my parents to the best of my knowledge. Thanks Bob for being generous with your time to us teenagers and the leadership you exemplified!
