Bob worked on the Dew Line for eight years, at Cambridge Bay, Inuvick and Tuktoyuktuk. He spent the next 37 years in the delivery messenger service (#44 at Pony Express and #544 at Direct).
Bob was an avid model railroader (N/N3/Z scale). He formed many friendships with fellow railroaders all over the world. Bob also enjoyed family get togethers, especially with the grandchildren. He had no trouble finding water guns! Bob and Gertie enjoyed several trips south to get away from our winters. They especially enjoyed touring Nashville and Memphis.
