ng time outdoors, especially on Lake Superior and at Ann's summer home in Northern Michigan. One of his favorite past times in younger years was to sail his boat "Charlie" on Lakes Pepin and Superior, enthusiastically sharing this passion with family and friends. Bob was a voracious reader and loved learning. His kindness and generosity to family, friends and strangers was legendary. His humility masked his genius and the fact that he was a true Renaissance man. A gentleman and a scholar, he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. A visitation will be held from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. and a Celebration of Bob's Life beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at Ranfranz and Vine Funeral Homes.
