He will be remembered with love by all of his family and friends. Bob worked as an air traffic controller for the FAA. After his retirement, he and Ruth worked at Chase Field with the Diamondbacks for fifteen years. They made many dear friends with coworkers and fans. Bob always had a smile, a joke or a song for all he met along life's way. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed all sports, especially baseball. He also enjoyed a spirited debate concerning politics or sports. Bob became a pilot as a young man and loved flying. Bob and Ruth enjoyed many years of love, fun, and adventures. They laughed along life's journey and shared their great love and joy with everyone they met. Bob passed into the loving arms of our Heavenly Father on July 1, 2014. His precious Ruth was at his side, holding his hand and gazing into his eyes with love, as she has from the moment they met, fell in love and got married.
