As the only girl in our family of five children, Bob stands out as the most sentimental, loving, and loyal member. His family always came first. His second and third loves were sports such as hunting and fishing. Everyone who met Bob thought he was a handsome, caring, and wonderful guy. He never tired of telling hunting and fishing stories. He always was proud of his work with Georgia Power and had many stories to share. He will be missed tremendously by all of his family and friends. After many years of living with dementia, we hope he is resting peacefully with those of his family and friends that passed before him.
