He loved to hunt, fish, trap, travel, snowmobile, and ride his Harley Street Glide. Bob was given the name "Smoke" by his fellow Turner (bear) Camp brothers. Only they know the back ground of this which he took with him. He was well known throughout our community. His main joy was always helping others. He also received awards from OTR (Our Town Rocks) for Good Citizenship and honors from Cargill and Watkins Glen Ambulance for administering CPR on the job saving a fellow employee's life; which was a very proud moment for him.

As well as brothers and sisters from another mother; mothers and fathers that had adopted him along years.
