Bob was born on November 1, 1943, a son of the late Robert A. and Doris Conklin Fish. He honorably served his country in the U.S. Army from 1968-1970. Bob was retired from the American Can Company in Geneva.
Bob was a jack of all trades and an excellent carpenter. If you came to him with a project, he would immediately start finding the parts or whatever you needed even if you weren’t quite ready to start the project. He cherished his family above all else; even converting his garage into a home for his mother in her later years. Bob’s lawn and pool was always meticulously cared for. He loved the sun and enjoyed having a pool since 1980. He enjoyed cars especially Corvette’s and convertibles and has always had a motorcycle. Bob liked making music with his ukulele.
Bob is survived by his wife, Roxanne Carson Fish; treasured 4-legged companion, Skyler; his brother, Thomas (Eunice) Fish; nieces, Debbie (Rob) DeMaria, Dana (Steve) Baskin and Kelly (Tim) Smolinski; as well as several great-nieces and nephews.
Bob was predeceased by his parents; a sister, Judy Murray; and fur children, Charlie, Max and Wally.
