He continued to assist area farmers for many years, and was considered a “Gentle Giant” by all those that knew him.
Bob was a past charter member of the Heuvelton Lions Club, a member of the Historical Antique Tractor Association and a former member of the Heuvelton Board of Education. He enjoyed entertaining people with his jokes and stories, watching tractor pulls, hosting barn dances, loving his dog Lizzy, spending time with his family and being a kind and giving person to all.
In lieu of flowers, any donations can be sent to the Heuvelton Volunteer Fire Department, 95 N. State Street, Heuvelton, NY 13654. The family is planning a “Celebration of Bob’s Life” at a later date.
