Born in Harvey, North Dakota, Bob moved west to California with his family at the age of 5 where he enjoyed the remainder of his life. After proudly serving in the U.S. Army during World War II from 1945-1947, he settled in Pittsburg. As a member of the Sheet Metal Workers Union for more than 60 years, Bob began working for Crane Brothers Sheet Metal in Pittsburg, and then Pittsburg Heating and Air Conditioning with longtime friend, John Torres.

He also served as a member of the Elks Club and Rendezvous Club, the Clampers , and as past president of Pittsburg AAU Swim Club.
In Bob's leisure time, he took great pleasure as an outdoorsman, fishing, hunting deer and elk, and diving for abalone. He cherished his hunting trips to Colorado and Wyoming with his hunting buddies. Bob also had a passion for seeing the world, traveling extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe, and sharing many vacations with his immediate and extended family in Mazatlan, Mexico.
He was devoted to his great-grandchildren and was their greatest sports fan, never missing a soccer, softball or lacrosse game. In Bob's life, his family and friends always came first. Services are scheduled for Wednesday, June 14 at Pittsburg Funeral Chapel. Visitation will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a memorial celebration at 11 a.m. The interment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery.
