Bob was predeceased by his parents William and Beulah Bowser, stepfather John Ben Anstey and sister-in-law Glennis Bowser. Bob was a kind and gentle soul and a devoted husband of 29 years. Bob loved animals, feeding birds was his priority every day rain or shine, he enjoyed a good game of pool and always looked forward to camping with his friends at Sunnyvale Campground and loved a good scotch.
