  Bob was a Manteca resident who served the community as a landscape designer with his business known as Nature’s Image. He served his country proudly through the United States Air Force during the Korean War. Originally from Cherry Valley, Illinois, Bob made his home in California to pursue his career.  Bob was a true artist in his landscape designs. He enjoyed golfing, drag races, and anything Scottish, especially the bagpipes. He also enjoyed playing tour guide for his family and friends, showing them the state that he grew to love as his home. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. He was an amazing father and loved his kids dearly. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather.
