Bob had many nicknames in his life that he earned as being a true “jack of all trades.” He worked as a carpenter in the family business and as a roofer most of his working career. He worked other jobs, including driving a truck for Safeway and a warehouseman for ARMCO in Commerce City.
In his spare time, Bob loved the sport of drag racing, driving and working on all his cars. He raced at different levels and with many different types of cars, including stock cars. Bob enjoyed riding his Harley and working on anything that had a motor and wheels.
Survivors include his two children, Candy (Jim) Gomez, of Commerce City, and Randy (fiancée, Tonya), of Thornton; and one brother, Bill (Lori) Davis of Washington. His wife, Shirley (2010); and a sister, Renee, preceded him in death.
