Bob graduated form Kenton High School. He served in the U.S. Army.

He worked as a life insurance agent and financial planner for almost 50 years.

During that time he earned his CLU and ChFC designations.

His client’s wellbeing was always very important to him. He will be missed.

His weekly trip to the library was another habit. A book was always close at hand.
