He then returned to Bowling Green and went to work at Ingram Plumbing, where he worked for 48 years. During that time, Bob was instrumental in growing the business into a large regional operation. Bob served as the president of the board at Hannibal LaGrange University. He was also a member of a coin club, corvette club, and a sporting cards club. Bob enjoyed being a part of his family’s lives, especially his children and later his grandchildren. He attended many St. Louis Cardinal games and collected lots of memorabilia. He loved going to the Opry to listen to Letha sing. Other interests include driving his 2008 Corvette, and deer hunting with his kids and grandkids. He loved his mornings at MeMe’s, sitting with the guys at the “Think Tank” table. Bob was a devout member of Second Baptist Church and served as a Deacon for many years. Bob was a great guy who thoroughly enjoyed life, and he will be greatly missed by all.
