Bob was a 1969 graduate of De La Salle High School, and a 1974 graduate of University of Missouri-Kansas City. Bob loved to play ice hockey, and he was one of only 6 zamboni drivers in the Kansas City area. He was also the last person to skate on the ice rink at the American Royal arena. Bob was an Eagle Scout and Warrior in the tribe Micosay. He had so many personal and professional accomplishments in life, but being a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend is what makes his family most proud. Bob loved KU basketball, golfing, fishing in Canada with his family, grilling amazing ribs and steaks, making breakfast for his family, and playing with his 7 grandchildren who were the absolute apple of his eye. He told the best jokes ever, and never messed up a punchline. He was the kindest man to everyone. There are no words to say how much we will miss him or how very much we love him. To know Bob was to love him, and we are so grateful for every day we spent with him. We will love you always and forever.
