“My dad always showed me that people deserve time and attention. It only takes a minute to smile and say hello to people. He takes genuine interest and makes it a part of his life to connect to people he meets. I remember thinking it was a little corny when I was younger. Then I moved away from home and noticed that people could take a lesson from my dad in kindness and open-heartedness. He makes people smile.”
In July, 1979, Bob hosted two years of a TV show on CKND called “Bowling for Dollars.” There are still fan clubs. With his ethic of ‘just listen and be of service’ and maybe make someone laugh in the process my dad has been a great coach.
