Graves Plumbing & Heating, and owned and operated it until his retirement in 1986. Bob's family was his life. He and his wife took many road trips with their children, and he taught each of his grandchildren how to ice skate. He enjoyed picking his grandchildren up from school each afternoon and giving them a ride home where he would always sing them a little tune. Bob built two camps on Abrams Pond, Franklin, where he loved to go especially if there was a project to be done that involved a hammer. He was a past deacon, trustee and member of Union Congregational Church, Northeast Harbor. He also served as selectman for the town of Mount Desert. He was very talented and enjoyed many hours of woodworking, making furniture for family and carving and painting birds. In later years he made gold lobsters and lobster claws that he enjoyed giving to many people.
