He served as a combat infantryman in heavy weapons and fought his way across France and well into Germany. He was recovered from a foxhole unconscious and flown back to a hospital in England still unconscious, where a nurse, days later, welcomed him back.Bob loved hunting and fishing, that was his life, salmon fishing locally and on the Columbia River, hunting the fields with his beloved cocker spaniels or trudging the hills for big game.Â"HUNTER HOME FROM THE HILLS Â- SAILOR HOME FROM THE SEA Â- REST IN PEACE DEAR BROTHER, UNCLE AND FRIENDÂ...Â"Bob is survived by sister Sally A.
