He was a member of many conservation groups including QDMA, the Susquehanna County Forest Landowners, National Wild Turkey Federation and American Chestnut Society.
Bob loved reading and filled numerous bookcases with treasures old and new. An avid outdoorsman, he was happiest outside in nature- whether in forest, field, mountain or stream.
