Bob loved attending the sporting events of his grandchildren and was an avid Bengals fan going to many games as well. He liked traveling with his wife which included visiting all 50 states and even to Europe and Canada. Many times, Bob could be seen out enjoying the ride on his lawn mower cutting the grass.
