Bob worked in the car business most of his life and had been a mechanic, service advisor, and body shop estimator for several businesses over the years including the former Lujack Auto Plaza in Davenport and most recently at Todd’s Body Shop in Plainfield, IL.

He liked watching sports and spending time with his grandchildren. He was a fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Cardinals, NASCAR, and drag racing. In his earlier years he drove and raced in his 1964 Chevelle. 

Everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite teams attire but no Cubs, Bears, or Packers!
