Bob was born August 25, 1936 in Henniker, NH. He lived most of his life in Antrim. He also resided in Franklin and Salisbury, NH.

Bob was very social with an outgoing personality. He never met a stranger he could not talk to. He had a quick sense of humor, always fun to be around. He loved his family, dog(s), antique car shows (especially High-Tide), outings, dancing, vacations, and wintering in Florida.

He is survived by his three children Sharon Howard, Steven (Laurie) Jones, and Susan (John) Stalbird. His five stepchildren Philip (Ginny) Dubia, Michelle (Patrick) Dubia, Natalie (Rick) Libby, John (Becky) Dubia, Valerie (Mike) Rutter; his first wife Joyce Dunlap and family friend Kathy Houghton.
