Bob served our country in the U.S.Army as a military police officer in Korea and Vietnam, 1964-66. He was a proud active member of the VFW & VVA in Jamestown, N.Y.

Bob enjoyed fishing, knife collecting and watching rodeos, along with his Pabst Blue Ribbon beer in his favorite seat at the Fish Club in Celeron, N.Y.

Bob was cremated in Tennessee and his remains will be buried at Veterans Grove, Lakeview Cemetery, Jamestown, NY in November of this year.

In the end, Bob was able to give the gift of tissue and bone to those in need.
