He is survived by daughters, Michelle (Joe) Bowen, Catherine (James) Powell, & Barbara (Darin) Curtis; 8 Grandchildren; 7 Great Grandchildren; sister Brenda (Steve) Wyatt; several nieces & nephews. Bob grew up on Shiloh church road where many of his family members still reside. He was an avid fisherman and was truly the happiest when he had a fishing pole in hand and surrounded by his “Buddies” (as he called all his friends and nephews). He is remembered by his family and friends as the “Class Clown”, always silly, always making others laugh. If he met you, you would hear one or more of his jokes. He wanted to thank all the Nurses and Staff that took such good care of him in his final months at Iredell Memorial Hospital and Hospice House of Statesville. He also wants you to know that he is shaking his fist at you for not letting him have a cigarette. Even in death he can still make us laugh. Bob was preceded in death by his domestic partner of 30 years, Lynn Cranston; sisters Ruth (Jerome) Jolly, Betty (Lonnie) Lambert, Diane (Richard) Parker; brother Bill (May) White; long time close friend, Denise Woods; 7 nieces & nephews.
