Bob was a man of faith, having a close walk and relationship with Jesus, he had a passion to spread His word and introduce others to the Lord. He not only officiated his daughters’ marriages, but also baptized all of his children and grandchildren.
Bob was a giving man, with a kind heart; always seeing the good in people. Education was important to him and he graduated with a bachelor degree in theology from the Tennessee Temple University and later attended Andrews University for his graduate work.
