Bob was a graduate of Wyandotte high school in 1968.
Bob was born with a heart to help others and he used his God given skills to fix and repair mechanical things, always willing to assist those in need. In high school he worked at a Phillips 66 gas service station, repairing and fixing cars.
A major portion of his career was at Trans World Airlines (TWA). There in 1979, Bob met the love of his life, “Gloria Massing” where she worked in the ticket stock department and he in printing services.
Bob and Gloria were married at First Assembly of God in Kansas City, Kansas on September 19, 1981. Bob and Gloria enjoyed one another’s company and had just celebrated forty years of marriage.
Their time together was filled with constant laughter and many vacations including visiting Europe, Hawaii, Graceland, Florida, Branson and countless fun camping memories at the lake when Bob owned his boat.
Bob also worked at Bear’s Printing and was currently employed at Kansas City Life Insurance Co.
Bob’s hobbies included collecting Elvis Presley memorabilia/photos and he liked John Wayne too. He had a love for watching westerns and cowboy movies and he also enjoyed “007” James Bond.
Bob recently purchased his beloved “dream car” a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air which was similar to the one he drove when he was in high school. Bob loved owning the car that reminded him of his youth and he showed his prized car at several “car shows” in the past few months.
Bob was blessed to have so many family members who loved him and cherished the great times that they had with him including holiday cook outs and birthday celebrations.
Bob loved the Lord and enjoyed serving and helping others throughout his life.
He will be greatly missed by all.
