His garages and tool trailers were perfectly arranged with everything in the right places. He loved having coffee with friends and had an incredible memory with unlimited stories. Bob loved attending his grandkids events and talking to people about his kids. Whenever he introduced his kids, he made sure to use all of their names which is the only reason why their names are listed in full below. He often mentioned that he had never made a mistake in his life. He thought he was wrong once, but that was only a mistake.
