He worked at Nestles in Fulton, Altel telephone company in Fulton, TRW of Union Springs, and NY Department of Corrections in Auburn as a prison bus driver. Bob loved bird watching and always wanted me to keep the feeders full. He could find humor in any situation. He was always smiling and had a positive attitude Bob was a member of the Port Byron Methodist Church and served on the trustee committee, men's club and Adult Fellowship. I wish to recognize the caregivers who made Bob's life tolerable and comfortable.The nurses from Hospice, Terry Payne, and Denise Guiffrida and Chaplain Matthew. They were so friendly and supportive and did their job prayerfully and professionally. Mary Quant was an angel for spelling me so I could take care of grocery shopping, etc. There will be no calling hours or funeral per Bob's request, but there will be a Memorial service at the Port Byron Methodist Church on January 8th at 1:00PM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Port Byron Methodist Church, Hospice of the Finger Lakes or to a charity of your choice in Bob's name.
