Bob was a talented woodworker and enjoyed crafting. He tackled large projects such as a kitchen remodel to smaller projects like puzzles, dollhouses, and even a wooden Noah’s Ark play toy for his grandchildren. In his younger years, he and his family would go camping nearly every weekend at places such as Cran Hill Ranch, Baldwin Oaks, and Dutch Treat, and each child would take a friend! Bob worked at Herman Miller for 37 years as a Hilo driver until his retirement. During retirement, he worked at Logan Estates as a maintenance man. A special thank you to the staff of Zeeland Community Hospital.
