Bob and Pat enjoyed many years of retirement in Williamsburg, VA and Ann Arbor, MI, before moving to Salt Lake City with his daughter in 2016. They loved to play golf and tennis and hosting their family for summer vacations on the Outer Banks. Bob also loved gardening and travelling with his family.
