Since 2011, Bob was employed at Mitchell’s Crane and Trucking. He was a proud member of Sons of the American Legion and served on the Baker volunteer fire department. In addition to enjoying golf, hunting, and fishing, Bob was well known for telling jokes. He was an enthusiastic fan of the Denver Broncos, SDSU Jackrabbits, and New York Yankees.
