Bob was preceded in death by his father Almon, mother Alberta, brother Bill, and first wife Barbara. He is survived by his loving wife Shirley, sons Jeff (Kandie) and Rick (Mary), grandchildren Jeremy, Kourtnee, Brandon (Kristin), and Brittany, and great-grandchildren Daymon, Maci, Kamden, and Kenny.
Bob graduated from Elk Grove High School in 1957. He worked in the Sheet Metal trade for many years, and eventually owned Bob’s Heating and Air Conditioning business in Sacramento, CA.
Bob lived for many years in Sacramento, Elk Grove, Rio Linda, CA and Yerington, NV. Each of those homes was lovingly improved by his superb craftsmanship. Whether it was tile work, concrete work, welding, metal fabrication, woodworking, electrical repairs, automotive repairs, building a shop, or handcrafting an entire wrought iron fence, Bob was known as “the guy who could build, fix or repair anything”.
Bob had a wonderful life filled with family, camping, fishing, goldmining, metal detecting, geocaching, ATVing, Jeeping, and RV trips. Alaska, Oregon, Washington, North Dakota, Iowa, Texas, CA Redwoods (summer), and Quartzsite, AZ (winter) were some of his favorite trips.
A Celebration of Life for this quiet, well-loved man will be held August 7, 2021 at 2:00 pm at the Community United Methodist Church, 221 North Main Street Yerington, Nevada.
