Bob owned and operated Bob’s Auto Sales in Mount Hope. He loved working with his hands and could build anything, from motors, cars and carpentry. He was very meticulous and built many pieces of furniture and was always building something unique for his home and kids. He enjoyed being outside, nature and animals, but most of all loved the sunshine. He was very proud of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, where he found his most joy, as he was always a kid at heart. He spoke out loud to JC as if he was right there beside him in person. Bob lived life to the fullest.
