Bob grew up in Fresno and Salinas, California. He served in the Navy Reserves and married Dorine, his life-long love of 69 years. He worked as a freight salesman for Santa Fe Railway for 32 years. When raising their family he enjoyed sharing and teaching the kids about train history, hunting, sailing, and camping. His hobbies included extensive wood craftmanship, as well as flying his own plane and later traveling the USA in their motorhome. At that time he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Following retirement they moved back to California, where they and their son, Clayton, built their home in Groveland. There, he was very active in their church, including the building of the current one. He will be dearly missed by his family and community.
