In the year 1971, Bob met Lesie and
they were married fi ve months later on
November 12th. They then went on to have
three daughters, Brandy, Sara, and Delcina.
Bob's fi rst job in the military was a
generator mechanic, but he quickly found a
love for cooking. After 16-years in the Army,
Bob medically retired as Staff Sergeant.
After his honorable discharge, Bob went
on to work for the Oregon Department of
Corrections until age 60, when he offi cially
retired.
Bob was a force of nature, determined
to provide for his family. He always went
above and beyond to show his love for
them. His family meant more to him
than anything in the world, something he
mentioned often. His love for his family
was selfl ess and unconditional.
