Bob graduated from Lawrence High School in 1952. He attended the University of Kansas studying design. He was on the KU swim team and a member of the K Club at the University of Kansas. Bob and his family moved to Camden in 1964 where he was owner and operator of Fisher's Diamond Shop.



On August 7, 1982, Bob married his wife, Ginger. He later worked in the car sales and rental business and spent the last ten years of his working life with the Camden Fairview School District working with children as an educational mentor and a beloved school bus driver.

Through the years Bob maintained 50 years of perfect attendance, making up meetings in Rotary Clubs all over the world. Bob and Ginger have been blessed to travel widely over the years through Rotary. Bob exemplified the Rotary motto "service above self." He had many interests and hobbies including being a member of the British Motoring Club of Arkansas. He was truly a car enthusiast. He was a licensed pilot by the age of 16.

Ginger, I am deeply saddened to hear about Bob. I remember so many fun times with him in the jewelry store and at the gun club. I remember during the grand opening of the jewelry store, he made sure that I had a corsage and was allowed to greet customers.I was still in high school. He and Daddy were close friends and admired each other. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the children.
