Being a friend of Mark's since junior high school, I saw his dad many times when I went over to the house. Bob always had a story for me. Sometimes it was about fixing a car. Sometimes just a little life lesson and almost always a story about how he remembered my dad back in the day. I loved the stories. Hope you got a good one for me when I see you next!

Bob enjoyed a long full life with Lee and kids. Going on many day trips riding the motorcycle, and going to the motorcycle ice racing in the winter watching various family members race. And races in Kansas.
Rest in peace Bob.
