He spent his childhood raised in Alliance on the family farms west of Alliance and north by the 16 mile corner. In 1960 the family relocated to Whitney, NE where he continued to farm with his dad north of Whitney. In 1967 he attended mechanic school in Denver Co then moved to Gillette WY and worked for Stockmans Ford Motor Company as an auto mechanic. In 1971 he bought the Texaco filling station in Chadron Ne. This is when he met Sheila Teresa Hunter (his sweetie) and they were married September 23, 1972. Their first child, Traci Leigh arrived in 1973, followed by their 2nd child Scott Robert, in 1975. Bob then accepted a job with Burlington Northern as a carman March 1976 and the family moved to Hemingford. They welcomed their youngest daughter Jennifer Doris in 1977. His career with Burlington Northern then took the family to Crawford from 1979 to 1989. In 1989 the family moved to Alliance and this became "home" for the past 29 years. To know dad was to have a lifelong friend. Affectionately known as Boogedy Bob amongst his coworkers, he was never known not to have a joke or a smile for anyone. He retired in February 2006 after 30 years of service from BNSF. He never knew a stranger and always had a friendly hello for everyone. He was full of funny stories and jokes, could make anyone laugh with his goofiness. He loved his classic cars and hotrods, belonged to the 385 Cruisers car club, a huge supporter of his son and his racing days at the speedway. He was also a member of the Eagles Club. He enjoyed his yardwork, his 4th child 1968 GTO (the goat) and fishing, camping and hunting with family and friends. Most all of all he loved his family.
