Bob served his country in the United States Air Force from 1971-73. As a Vietnam Veteran, he spent his time helping other veterans get the support they needed and deserved. In addition to volunteering his own time, he helped those men and women through his work in Administration at the Danville VA. Bob was a man that stood up for what was right, and believed in doing the right thing regardless of who was watching. He also enjoyed spending time in our national, state, and county parks.
