Retired Captain from the Columbus City Fire Department and a retired building contractor. Member of Good Shepherd Community Church. As a longtime Ohio State fan, we knew it was best NOT to call him during the football games. He was known by many names, Robert, Bob, Dad, and to Keith's family he was our "Pap".
