Bob was a great man with many hats. He was a veteran of the Air Force and served in the Korean war. He worked many jobs, but the one he cherished most was being a Detective for the Denver Police Department for 25 years. He even wore his retiree badge to the very end and made sure everyone followed the rules.
He enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, and travel. Later in life, he loved woodshop making wood carvings. He made 3 totem poles, one of which was highlighted in a local magazine.
Most importantly, Bob was a family man and instilled the importance of family values. He was loving and extremely generous all while being the matriarch of our family. He loved his family greatly. He came to every swim meet, soccer and baseball games, and any school function. Bob was very much involved in his granddaughter's and great-grandchildren's lives. He was the best Papa and our biggest cheerleader. He will be missed immensely.
He is preceded in death by his parents, three siblings, his loving wife, Rita, and his only child, Roberta. He is survived by his granddaughters, two great-grandchildren, and
by many nephews and nieces, great nephews and great nieces residing in Pennsylvania and Colorado.
