Truly, he was the head of his family.  Bob and Nadine were the love of each other's life, and the family held their parents in high esteem.

Bob was known in the community for his love of cars, and he was one of those fortunate people who was able to build a career doing something he enjoyed, his automobile related businesses. He loved the local vintage car shows and discussing antique cars with his friends over coffee. He remembered people's names and always wore a smile. Everyone in Rogersville knew Bob Bundren.
