Look at that dashing man!
Bob loved practical jokes. For his 70th birthday, his family gave him $200 in $2 bills, with each bill in its own separate, sealed envelope. You can see here that the joke is starting to sink in.
Bob loved his cats, Bully and Rocky, and they loved him back. Here’s Rocky on one of his favorite spots.
Bob watching the world go by from a train window, on a cross-country trip in 2006.
Bob couldn’t believe that he got this actual gold watch as a retirement gift from the railroad. He always thought that was just a cliché.
Bob loved trains of any size. After he retired from the railroad, he spent even more time and energy building model layouts at home and at various model railroading clubs throughout North Carolina.
