Bob enjoyed working with his hands. Whether he was tinkering on scooters and doodle bugs, playing cribbage at D. J. Trophys or being at the races, he enjoyed being active. The thing that meant the most to him was being with his family. They were his life.

Bob is survived by sons: Troy “Tank” (Mary Ellen) Draeger and Tracy (Kari) Draeger; four grandchildren: Dalton, Mallary, Jacob and Kira; and two sisters: Janet McCutchen and Joy Draeger. He was preceded in death by his parents and his wife Kathy in 2014; their son Todd; sister Evellyn Ball; and brother Glen Draeger.
