“Pops” was so happy every time his great-grandchildren; Scarlett, Levi, Hudson and Oakley would come to visit. He looked forward to also spending time with his German Shepherd, Chase.

Bob was a beloved husband and father and will be missed by many. In addition to his wife Diana, he is survived by his two daughters, Deanna B. Mann and her husband Kevin and Dinnette B. Johnson and her husband Barry; his three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, and his twin brother Edward H. Dodge. He was the brother of the late Gloria Taylor.
