Bob was a hard worker and great provider who could fix and build anything. If anything went wrong, he knew how to fix it. He started in the construction with John Fielding building houses for over 15 years, Coon Industries and retired from Nyleve bridge corporation in Emmaus, PA in 2016 as a carpenter foreman.

Bob's main focus was his family. He was a devoted husband who made his wife feel so loved and made her feel "like a princess". He would always tell her "You look pretty today".

Even though we were a small family, WE LOVED BIG!
