Bob had a great sense of humor. He enjoyed telling and hearing a good joke. His first love was Karen and together they had four children, Kevin, Tracey, Carrie and Cheryl. 

His second love was Marie who had four children, Alan, Mike, Teresa, and Kelly. 

Bob also loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he enjoyed spending time with them so much. He also loved his trucks, and enjoyed a good crib game but he hated to lose. He was an Oilers fan through and through.
