Bob graduated from Big Spring High School in Newville.  He retired from Quaker after 32 years of service.  He was a member of the Williams Grove Steam Engine Association for 42 years and served on the Board of Directors for several years.  He enjoyed helping everyone around with odd jobs, such as collecting scrap, cutting down trees, clearing junk etc. He was a big fan of the former Carlisle Farmers Market Restaurant and enjoyed going in and talking with his friends for hours.  There was never an auction or sale that didn't have something he "needed".  Bob loved spending time camping at various places with his family and friends.
