He served his country as an infantryman in the U.S. Army in Germany from 1957 to 1959. Bob married Mary Yourkoski on September 3, 1960 in St. Barbara’s Church in Vulcan. Bob loved being outdoors, especially walking the woods at camp, The 4 Bucks Chalet, founded with his 3 sons in 1991. He loved his children but his grandchildren and great grandchildren were his joy. They benefited from his baking skills with “Grandpa Buns” and his special Apple Cinnamon kuchen ready and waiting on the counter when they arrived for a visit.
