Bobby enjoyed fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, jeep racing, and gardening. In recent years his health interfered with his ability to pursue his interests. Nonetheless, in his day, Bobby grew magnificent gardens and shared the fruits of his labor with many. Following the death of his mother, Bobby often hosted Sunday morning breakfasts with all of the “fixins” for his brothers and extended family.
