He also leaves behind three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren who will cherish his memory and carry forward his legacy. Bob was the godfather to Lisa Nunemaker (nee Walker), and is survived by close family friends John and Sandy Walker, Lisa's husband Kevin, and their two children.

Bob was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 56 years, Helen, and his mother, Irene. Their memories remained close to his heart throughout his life.

Bob’s kindness, strength, and inspirational presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to those who mourn his passing.
