During his time in the war he was decorated with several awards including the sharp shooter award and Bronze star. He retired from Imperial Sugar after 41 years of dedicated employment, where he worked his way up rather quickly into the Human Resources Department. He was an active member of St. Paul Lutheran Church as well as the American Legion and VFW. He loved to spend time with and brag on his grandchildren. He enjoyed gardening, playing dominoes with friends, and was most famous for his homemade bar-b-que sauce and pickles. Bob was always smiling and his laughter was contagious.
