Bob is survived by his wife Minerva and his four children: Amy (Reed) Sparby, Dan (Lois) Reed, Laura (Al) Reed and Mark (Karen) Reed; a sister Shirley (Frank) MacCormick, a brother John Reed and a son-in-law Rudy Frey.
He was preceded in death by his first wife Beth, his parents Ray and Irene, and a daughter Kitty.
Bob lived an incredible life, full of curiosity, wonder, and always a sense of adventure. His many years in San Francisco with his wife Minerva, were some of the happiest in his life. He explored the jungles of Uganda, to sit with the gorillas, to spending time with the natives in the jungle of Malanesia. There was never an adventure he would not relish. A man of great passion, intelligence and curiosity, he enriched all of our lives.
