He was a very supportive husband, father, and pappy. He supported and enjoyed watching his children's and grandchildren's sporting events (even the band and chorus concerts and dance recitals). He had a love for everything outdoors including camping, hunting, fishing, soccer, and NASCAR. In Bob's earlier years in life, he loved dirt track racing (along with the occasional street race). He loved riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle and going on 4 wheeler rides. He was very active in 4H with beef, riflery, and swine. He enjoyed working in the dairy bar dipping ice cream and making milkshakes at the Somerset County Fair. He was a member of the AYSO soccer board and coached for many years. He also coached the Meyersdale Junior High soccer team and the high school rifle team. Bob's humorous comments and nicknames for everyone, along with his ornery instigating, will be missed beyond measure.
