After the military, Bob worked for Frito Lay, which moved he and his family over several years to multiple cities before settling in Topeka, KS in 1980. He spent his career in accounting and management roles, where he really thrived. He worked over a decade at Andrews Asphalt and retired as Comptroller, to ensure he could spend the rest of his years in servitude to the Lord. If you knew Bob, you knew that his faith was his strength and his hope. His love for Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary were his steadfast rock and he wanted to make sure everyone shared in this love. Bob always ensured you knew he was praying for you and he made sure you knew he wanted to live eternity in Heaven with all of his loved ones. Bob was a faithful servant of God and a good friend to so many. His humor and jokes will not be forgotten. If you never heard him introduce himself as “Bob with one O”, you definitely missed out on his favorite chuckle.
Bob had a great love for his family and spoke of them often to anyone who would listen. He always shared how proud he was that each of his children was unique and had been created with distinctive God given talents to share with the world. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy and he loved spending time with them and teaching the next generations how to fish, repair things, and enjoy nature.
Bob passed on December 9, 2021 with his daughters by his side sharing favorite “Dad stories” and praying and loving on him as his soul left this Earth. Praise the Lord, Bob has come home to heaven for all of eternity where he has reunited with his beloved son Jerry.
