Bob and Jo both came from large, wonderful families and so enjoyed getting together. Bob enjoyed fishing, music of all kinds, western movies and especially anything with John Wayne. He was a great storyteller, a keen spade's partner, and a kind and gentle soul. Always eager to help a person in need, he would have given the shirt off his back.
