Bob was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who enjoyed brewing beer and listening to classic rock. He found enjoyment in getting outside and spending time with his family at their family cabin on the coast of Lake Superior. Bob was a handyman that took pride in his work with his most recent project being an office/brew room he built in the basement of their log home. He was always willing to assist his family with whatever home improvement project questions they had.
In lieu of a funeral, Bob’s wishes were for a celebration of life. The family will notify loved ones when this celebration has been scheduled.
