Bob passed unexpectedly while vacationing in the Dominican Republic.  He was 67 years old.

Bob was born in Redwood City, CA and moved to the valley at a young age.  He attended Robert’s Ferry Grammar School and graduated from Hughson High School in 1969.

Bob had a successful career in construction as owner of Wallace Construction in Turlock, building numerous apartment and condominium projects.  A passion came to life when Bob opened Timberline Sports Shop in Turlock, specializing in quality ski and sports equipment.  In 1994, Bob joined JP Ranches in Ballico, overseeing almond and cattle operations.

Bob worked hard and played even harder.  He lived life to the fullest every day.  Bob knew no strangers, and loved all the friends he made over the years.  He loved his family and loved to travel.
