Bob had been a Ranch Real Estate Broker for 45 years and enjoyed showing ranches and meeting new people. He didn’t operate with a listing agreement; he said a hand shake was all he needed and he would go to work to sell the place. He was very successful. His hobbies were running his dozer and clearing land to make it productive. He always said if it could grow trees it could grow grass. He loved riding around, especially with great grand children on his RTV. Bob had lots of cousins that live in Texas; some his folks helped raise. He always said he had the best parents anyone could ever have; from them he learned to love everyone and he loved deeply.
