Bob had a love for music and started playing drums at an early age.  Through the years, he was the drummer for various country/rock bands in the area.  His last gig was the drummer for Morning Rock praise band at Ebenezer Lutheran Church.

Bob loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman.  He loved fishing for crappie with his dad at Lake Wateree, SC, and his brother, Paul at Lake Norman.  His friends gave him the nickname of “Crappie Master” because he always caught the most fish at the end of the day.
