He purchased the family farm from his parents in 1964. He always worked hard and loved farming. After he retired from dairy farming, he raised Herefords for another 20 years. He could always be seen along the road on his tractor or four-wheeler fixing fences and feeding the cows. Bob also worked for PennDOT as a highway foreman for 24 years, retiring in 1994. Bob and Alice loved to travel. Over the years, they owned three motorhomes, traveling throughout the United States and Canada. He joined the Winnebago Club and also traveled with them. However, as much as he loved to travel, he would sing when he saw the Pennsylvania border. It was always good to be back home. Bob loved his wife, Alice, and three daughters. He thoroughly enjoyed the grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved to visit with people. You could find him talking to someone anywhere he was, whether he knew them or not. Friends were always at the house or they would be at their friends' home playing cards. He enjoyed the contests between the men and women. Since 2006, Bob was a member of the Warren Center Senior Center where he enjoyed the activities, trips, and especially the people.
