Bob Loved his kids and grandkids and enjoyed spending all his time with them. He loved to tell them Jake stories, take them hunting, teaching them the responsibilities behind raising and showing livestock and watching them play any and all sports. He loved to support them and enjoyed watching them in all they were apart of growing up. He was ultimately their biggest fan. Even his stadium seat read " My favorite people call me Granddad" - a title he was so proud of and loved.
His hobbies were hunting, vacationing in Ruidoso with his family and spending time with his prized herd of Registered British White cattle. He was honored to host the National Convention of the Brithish White Cattle Association in Snyder for 2 years.
