He married Barbara PATTISON in Wellman, Iowa in 1953. Bob was a lifelong seeker of truth, first through philosophy and religion and later in life through science -- in particular the wonders of the universe. While serving as a Methodist minister in the 1960s, he worked hard for civil rights and racial equality, touching many lives along the way. Bob enjoyed varied interests in life, including fishing, golfing, and a good laugh. He loved his family deeply and was loved by them in return. He will be missed.
