His brother, Roger with his wife Lisa who live in Oregon and his sister Dona who also lives in Oregon with her husband Sheldon.

Robert started B.C. Plumbing in 1969, almost 50 years ago! After retiring from being a successful plumber, in 1994, the business was passed down to his sons, Michael and David. It continues to be a profitable business to this day! In 1994 they purchased a large ranch located in Prineville, Oregon. He became a successful rancher, managed 5000+ acres for 20 years raising cattle and water buffalo. They sold the ranch in 2007 and ventured off to Arizona for another successful adventure. They flipped 100 homes there, buying, fixing them up, and selling them.

Robert had so many passions, from hunting, fishing, horseback riding, spending time with family, and traveling. He loved his dogs and all his animals he raised over the years. His passion for plumbing, ranching, and flipping homes were such accomplishments, he will always be a legend in our eyes. He was our “Superman”!

A family graveside service will take place at the Bethany Cemetery in Silverton, Oregon at 11:00 am on Saturday, January 19th, 2019. A celebration of life will follow at the Silverton Elks Lodge located at 300 High Street, all who knew and loved Robert (Bob) are welcome to attend.  Family and friends can sign an online memorial guestbook at www.bouldercityfamilymortuary.com
