In 1990, Judy and Bobby bought the farm in Arkdale where he owned and operated Bob’s Auto Sales and Salvage.
Bobby ran a successful business and worked a full-time job until the 2006 accident.

Bobby & Judy tied the knot on October 20th, 2006 at their new home in Arkdale. Bobby continued to run Bob’s Auto Sales and Salvage until his passing.
Bobby enjoyed everything about cars, fixing them, selling them, buying them and of course racing them. Bobby’s passion continued with watching Barrett-Jackson Auctions and collecting muscle cars. Bobby passed his spare time as an avid NASCAR and Green Bay Packer fan.
The years prior to his accident he enjoyed riding snowmobiles, ATV’s, boating, camping and hunting with his family and friends.

Our deepest condolences. Bobby was a good friend & classmate. Always a special chuckle and always angling for that next piece to make his car a little more ‘throaty’ & a touch more ‘gitty up-n- go’ back in day ! Full of fun and never asked a whole lot in return other than keeping it real.
R.I.P. Bobby !
