After leaving the hotel and entertainment industry, he opened up his photo evidence company in 1985 which he owned until his death. Because he liked to relax at the end of the day, he took great pride in furnishing his home inside and out to be inviting and comfortable. It was not a house, but truly a home. While he might fiddle a little with some gardening, an enjoyable evening was a good book and a scotch and water on the patio.Bob is survived by his sister Jane Fullenkamp of Oldenburg, along with several nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and great great nieces and nephews.
