He will be dearly missed by his wife, Sylvia; sons: Alan, Blake (Pam); two granddaughters: Amber and Kaleigh; sister, Gail (Jim) Clement; many nieces, nephews, and cousins.  Bob was a strong, determined man that suffered many physical illnesses but never complained and didn’t want to bother anyone else with his problems.
