Bob passed away June 12, 2023. He was born in Chicago. He prided himself on being both a Union Ironworker and a Union Carpenter. Bob was an amazing architect, designer, engineer, and builder. His work-ethic and physical prowess, humility, and character, influenced everyone around him.
Bob merged knowledge of iron and artistic skill to create a violin, guitar, and banjo, from hand-bent rebar and wire elephants with tie-wire and sacred geometry. His iron bicycle was displayed at the West Nebraska Arts Center. Music flowed through Bob’s body and brain like blood. He played drums every day. He had perfect pitch and time.He admired YES; CHICAGO; PAT METHENY; and GENESIS.Bob loved animals and reading. He was generous, compassionate, innately diplomatic, and respectful. He could talk to people with divergent political views, finding common ground in our fundamental humanity.
Bob was a man’s man who was a role model to the younger generation of tradesmen and craftsmen. His death rings through the realms of male consciousness, and they mourn the passing of a leader. Please honor Bob with your presence
