He was always a farmer first. Bob had many interests which led to trucking and in later years carpentry. As a farmer he had a purebred simmental cattle herd for many years. There were always sheep in the mix and in later years, horses also joined the farm. Bob’s life was filled with love and care for his family. Every child and grandchild has a memory of Bob in a piece of carpentry handcrafted for them. Bob was a conscientious community contributor. When his family was young he was very involved as a school trustee on the local School Board. He also had a passion for the operation and upkeep of the old community hall. He was instrumental in the building of the new Lily Plain Hall as it stands today.
