Bob was an avid golfer, but his passion was fishing. For Father's Day, his dream was to go fishing one more time, and thanks to his family, they made it happen. Wheelchair bound, they got him into the car, up to the lake, down the hill (where he caught 2 FISH) and the trip back UP the hill. A very special thank you to the staff of Mid-Michigan Hospice Organization, they made his going home possible. Cremation has taken place, with a mass scheduled for the family is planned for a later date.
