      Bob was a member of V.F.W. and the local Moose Lodge.  He was continually active at Bethany Lutheran Church, and it was especially important to him to be involved on Sunday's.  Bob became an Elder after many years of faithful service and enjoyed reading and talking about his religion.  He also enjoyed being a Chaplain at the local Hospital. 

     Bob’s interests included enjoying long walks while taking lots of beautiful photos along the way.  He also spent much of his time traveling to old homesteads photographing and researching the history of Wasco County.  You could also find him on sunny days gardening or picking berries along the Columbia River Gorge or tending to the flowers around the house, especially the roses.  When he was not outside Bob would be catching up on the news or watching westerns on T.
