Bob was many things to many people.

He was born on January 12 ^th , 1940, at St. Annes hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, but grew up on a farm in Hartsgrove, Ohio,  learning the meaning of hard work and family.

He was a great friend and mentor.  Someone who you could count on to give good advice or lend a helping hand.  He always tried to help people in the community.

Through the years, he adopted several family members, kids, and friends into our immediate family.  There was always room for someone to stay for as long as they needed to get back on their feet or nursed in their time of need.

He Joined the Twinsburg Volunteer Fire Department, 1976 -1988 . Became one of the first Paramedics in Twinsburg FD history.  He was honored for his work with several fire and rescues.

He owned Little Chef Restaurant in Orwell, Ohio 1960's, worked as a restaurant manager for Kenny Kings in Bedford, several Manners Big Boy restaurants and eventually owned and operated Shorty's Drive Inn, Twinsburg, Ohio and then later in life to keep busy he worked at Giant Eagle in Twinsburg.

He loved Twinsburg and was involved in local politics, contributed to the local community, and helped with Twins Day events.

He was a great sports fan and loved the Browns, Indians, and Cavilers.  Football was his favorite and he was always able to keep track of all the college football players and give detailed facts from their college days as they advanced into the pros.

He loved gardening, growing flowers, and feeding the birds.  He loved working on his ancestry tree and created an extensive family tree.

Most of all he loved his family and friends and they loved him.
