As a proud fourth-generation Mason, Bob lived his life as an ardent believer in the values of Freemasonry and was a stalwart practitioner of those values. Bob belonged and contributed to several concordant bodies of the fraternity, including Scottish Rite, Rose Croix, Shriners, and DeMolay. He was a Past Master of his regular lodge, Boyer Mt. Lodge #50 in Deer Park, WA, of which he was a member for more than forty years. He also belonged to North Hill Lodge #210 in Spokane, and Mission Valley Lodge #78 in Polson, Montana – his home lodge. Bob served as director of the SRSFW for the Valley of Spokane from 2007-2022, helping many young people realize their dreams of attending college. His efforts helped to make the Valley of Spokane one of the most active contributors to the SRSFW during his tenure. Outside of Freemasonry, Bob worked as a mining engineer for over fifty years. He lived his life as an exemplary Mason who would never hesitate to help someone in need, whether it be a fraternal brother and their family, or even a stranger. Bob was a good man and a good Mason who will be sorely missed by all of those who had the opportunity to know him.
