In his free time, Bob enjoyed playing golf at LuLu Country club where he was an active member. He also enjoyed playing softball and darts with colleagues and friends or just hanging out with a cold beer and good company. He loved to cheer on the Washington Redskins and take trips to Disney World and to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Most importantly Bob was a devoted and loving father. He treasured the daily visits from Alex when he was in the hospital for over a month, he appreciated Tara’s thoughtful nursing student contributions to his battle with AML leukemia, and he loved watching Billy play baseball at Plumstead Christian School.
