Bob was a life long career missionary along with his cherished wife, Joyce, with whom he shared 64 years of happy marriage. He and Joyce graduated from Elohim Bible Institute in NY. They served the Lord among stone aged cannibals in what is now Papua, Indonesia where a thriving church continues to flourish.

Bob was a devoted servant of God with a passion to see others come to know Jesus personally. He was deeply loved by many and will be greatly missed.
