On Julie’s birthday in July 2001, Bob and Julie were married on Julie’s family farm southeast of Wayne. They exchanged vows with their children by their sides combining their two families. Bob’s first love was his family, his second was driving over the road, coast to coast.

He enjoyed fast cars, Husker football, NASCAR, Scifi, Westerns and James Bond movies.

He was a great cook and invented new dishes for his children, including weenie soup, marshmallow fajitas, peanut butter and noodles, and hockey puck biscuits and gravy. Bob was a member of the Wayne Eagle’s Club.
