Bob was born in Flint,
Michigan, where he married
Maxine Vincent in 1949. He
graduated from University
of Michigan in 1956 with a
BS in Chemistry. Bob9s zest
for life, his caring for others,

well-known. He loved being
with his ever-expanding fam-
ily, who felt that their Dad

anything. He built two of his
homes and remodeled the
others, built three wooden
