Bob was a proud member of the National Guard for seven years. He started his working career driving milk truck, and he was always grateful to have made many friendships with local famers. He also drove truck for Huber Brewery for 35 years with the CB handle “Chopper Box”. He drove over two million miles without an accident, while he also raised beef cattle and sheep. He was a member of the Monroe Moose Lodge for many years. He enjoyed playing cards at the Moose and with his card club amongst friends. He also liked bowling, travel and RV camping, and was a train enthusiast. He was an avid fan of NASCAR and Matt Kenseth, the Green Bay Packers, and limburger cheese. Bob’s greatest enjoyment was spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren.
