All that knew him will remember his wonderful laugh! After retiring Bob and Velma traveled across the United States enjoying the sites from coast to coast. They had a lively group of Carson City friends who they spent many hours with solving life’s problems at the Old Globe Saloon where they were known by their aliases of Ivy Picklestomper and Igor.
