Bob is an amazing man! He was a wonderful husband and father. He loved unconditionally, always encouraged us, and was always FOR us. He loved to laugh, listen, and talk. He knew how to enjoy life. He loved people so much. He spent his life pouring time and love into his family and into his many friends and spiritual sons and daughters. He was married for 31 years to wife Sherry. Bob earned his degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Oklahoma. He was fascinated with technology and alternative energy. He started an alternative energy company called Sunrise Alternative Energy. He was an adjunct instructor in alternative energy at OSU-OKC.
