As the “Commander of The Sons of The American Legion”, Bob was one of the greatest American Patriots of our time. His spirit soared from the moment he could fly, to the instant he lit the fuse and to the second he could pull the trigger. From airplanes, to dragsters, scuba diving to a skeet shooting Easter Bunny, he did it all. He loved it all and taught it all back to the ones he loved. As a longtime resident of Honeoye Lake, he was very helpful to his friends and families of the community, and will greatly be missed by all.
We love you Dad.
