In 1981 he married Suzanne (Suzi) “Greve” Brooks. They raised two children

together and were married until the early 2000’s.

In the mid-1980s he started work with LeMieux Toyota to try his hand at selling

cars. As with everything else he was a success at it and won top sales awards

every year for truck sales in the whole region and worked there until his

retirement in 2008.

Bob enjoyed hunting, fishing, watching races, traveling, a good meal, and

spending time with his friends and family. Bob was very proud of his

grandchildren and loved his grand pups. Bob was always willing to lend a

helping hand. He would always try to find a way to help anyone out with a project

or anyone in need. He specially had fond memories of yearly fishing trips to

Canada and his time spent at the “hunt club”. He was a charter member of Fox

Ridge Game farm and stayed active until his health prevented it. His sons still

hunt and enjoy their time there. In his retirement years he was often found

commiserating with the Buster’s crew whether playing fantasy football, watching

pool games, playing the machines, or telling stories to whoever would listen.

father-in-law Roger Greve, His sister-in-law's Lucy Brooks and Vicky Greve, and
