Bob will be missed by his many life-long friends from the Bay Area.Bob was born and raised in San Francisco, resided in Marin County all of his adult life until he moved to Lake Havasu City, AZ in 2001. While he was a "city boy" he always appreciated and never forgot how the Bay Area impacted the world around him. He absolutely loved living in LHC. He loved having a pool at his home. Bob grew up water skiing on the San Francisco Bay and Lake Berryesssa. Bob's favorite pastime was going boating. Oh, the great stories! All through the years he always had his own boat, until he moved to Lake Havasu. How ironic! How Bob! Boats and Cars were his passion. Since Bob was young boy he was devoted and loyal to everything Dodge, thru and thru. He loved his Dodge Viper. Every Sunday he took it for a ride. Starting the morning, early, at 'his office away from home, Starbucks' where he would meet up with the Sunday Morning Corvette Gang in the parking lot. Bob began every morning of the week at Starbucks where he knew all the 'regulars' and forged some friendships that meant a great deal to him. Thanks, Guys! Thanks, Starbucks staff! Bob was a member of the Relics and Rods, a vintage and classic car club in LHC. As a member, one of the highlights for Bob was the Run to the Sun Car Show every October.A very special Thank You to the staffs of Havasu Regional Medical Center and New Hope Hospice of Lake Havasu City for all your loving care of Bob.
