With a heart for service, Bob served at church and as president at the Lions Club in Hot Springs. He retired as CFO of Hot Springs Convention Center. Bob loved playing Mexican train dominos with the guys at church. He was talented with plants and enjoyed working in his yard. Bob was a quick-witted and kind person that anyone could ask for.
