His granddaughters, Audrey and Claire; his sister, Vera Merz of East Wenatchee; and many close family members and friends will miss him dearly. Bob had many interests and talents. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed flyfishing and hunting throughout North Central Washington. He was a gifted artist, who filled his home with oil paintings of scenes of lakes, rivers and mountains. He was also an avid gardener, with a special fondness for his large and perfectly tended rose garden. And he was darn hard to beat at pinochle.
