Bob was a devoted member of Ligonier Evangelical Church where he served in various capacities over the years and was a beloved usher and greeter. Bob was a professional fiberglass man for his entire working life. He was very talented with fiberglass and was well known for making a fiberglass reproduction mold of a 1933 Plymouth. Many of those finished replicas are held and shown by collectors to this day. Bob was also a member of the Boonville Lions Club, a past member of Jaycee’s, and a Boy Scout leader for many years. Bob would help anyone in need and did just that at home and abroad on mission trips with his church. He will always be remembered for his smile and the sound of his whistle.
