Following his graduation from Shawnee High School in 1945, Bob enlisted in the Navy Coast Guard and was assigned to Communications. He spent the majority of his service in Kodiak, AK.

They married on September 3, 1948.
Bob and LaVonne were co-owners of Myrtles Wedding Shop for 21 years, from 1972-1993. Bob was an integral part of organizing Liberty Chapel that would eventually become Hope Foursquare Church. He served as a Sunday School teacher, spending time with youth as well as senior citizens. If any construction project needed a hammer or saw Bob was there!
Upon Bobs retirement in 1986, he devoted his time to family, travel, and filling needs. He was a gifted organizer, planner, leaded glass designer and creative wood worker.
Bob loved the Lord Jesus Christ and trusted him throughout his lifetime. He left a priceless legacy to his children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren.
