He was very artistic; painter, world traveler, excellent trip planner, part giver, gardner, photographer and host. He made 34 trips to Europe, especially to Bavaria, Germany, where he made many friends who called him by phone. He was well known for Christmas parties- 7 parties for 300 or more guests. He lavishly decorated inside and outside the house, and front and back of the house. The main feature was a 9-foot wreath is 1200 lights, a tradition 3 generations drove by to see. He was well known by lawyers because he was a clerk to Federal Judge Meredith in the US Courts. Judge Meredith wanted to make him chief clerk in the office, but Bob did not want to leave working for Judge Meredith. He was very modest in his accomplishments. He have many yard parties to show his beautiful pictures of his trips to Europe and in America. He was very generous to organizations and to people. As a young man, he looked like Tyrone Power.
