Bob started life in Prospect Park, N.J. on November 13, 1937. He was a carpenter by trade, building many homes for families in northern New Jersey including the beautiful homes he built to raise his own family. He loved working with wood and with his hands, but, mostly, he loved his family. He was a good man, honest and true. A man of integrity and a man who was always there to lend a helping hand. He was proud of his family and proud of his service in the United States Army. Before relocating to Georgia he was a long time member of Covenant Christian Reformed Church in North Haledon, N.J. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
A celebration of life was held at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 819 Highway 314, Fayetteville, Ga., on Tuesday, September 8, 2015 at 11:30 a.m.
