Bob was a sweet, kind-hearted man who loved golf and car racing. He could sock a ball a mile and loved to make "Shades of Blue" and "Tango" roar down the strip at Martin Speedway. Later he enjoyed the car field further as a Snap On representative. In his later years, he drove buses for the Allegan Public Schools until retirement. Bob is survived by his loving family, including his brother, Douglas (Diane) Fishburn; sisters, Jeanette (Ken) Achterberg and Sharon (Bryan) Nafrady, friends and especially his nieces and nephews who adored Uncle Bob.
