Bob was born on January 16, 1925 in Pharoah, Oklahoma and he passed away on October 22, 2009 in Grants, New Mexico.
He was a lifetime logger/truck driver, hauling millions of board feet of timber out of the Zuni Mountains and Mt. Taylor areas. Later, he switched to hauling ore from the uranium mines and gravel. Bob liked nothing better then telling funny jokes or playing ticks on somebody. He was known and loved by many who called him friend, Uncle Bob, Grandpa, Old Grandpa and Dad.
Bob loved fishing, traveling the back roads, and playing with his great grandkids. Bob never met a child that he did not love or one that did not love him back. Everyone needs an Uncle Bob!
