Bob was born in Chilliwack and grew up on the family dairy farm in Greendale. He shared in the running of a successful dairy with his dad and brother for many years. Bob married Carole in 1978 and they were lifelong partners in all things until the day he died. After leaving the farm, Bob and Carole moved their family to Ryder Lake, and enjoyed life on their hobby farm for many years. Bob's love and knowledge of farming and agriculture led to a career in the dairy industry, working for WestGen for more than 30 years.
He was a committed and active member in the Chilliwack Alliance Church, where he faithfully served in many different roles over the years. It was evident to all who encountered Bob that his faith in Jesus was of first and foremost importance in his life.
