While living in Groesbeck, Bob was a member of Christ Episcopal Church in Mexia. Bob lived his faith by serving others, often in simple, quiet gestures of love that sought no recognition.

He will also be missed by several cousins and many friends at the St. Francis Village where he lived for several years.
