An avid musician, Bob started with his high school band, and continued to be a musician throughout his early adulthood. Bob played almost every instrument, but was most often a drummer.
Anyone who knew Bob was sure to be regaled with one (or more) of his humorous stories. Bob had an endless supply of jokes and funny tales, and loved to perform, often as a master of ceremonies for formal functions. He was always the life of the party.
