Robert was born in Bay City, Michigan on August 21, 1942. He was adopted by Bernice and William Ries shortly after his birth. He loved his parents more than anything in the world. He is now in heaven with them, and yet he still finds the time to watch over those that he loved with all his heart. He was a good dad to my youngest son, and made sure to teach him all the things that boys need to learn, and most important was how to respect and treat a lady. Bob was the kind of husband that most women are looking for, when he found that special woman that held his heart he treated her with total respect and unconditional love. He helped around the house and did most of the yard work himself. He never had a harsh word about anyone he met. There was nobody in need that he did not try to help. He ran the sound system and the bus for Charity Baptist Church, in Chattanooga, TN. He was also one of the Trustees of the church, along with the maintenance man. Bob played Santa a few time for the Community Kitchen, and since he looked like santa he soon gained the nickname Santabunny. Bob did spend some time playing games online and met many good people there. His favorite site to play was ionthunder.com Bob did many odd jobs for friends because he was needed and liked people. He was very outgoing, and had many jokes and stories to tell. These pages are dedicated to his children.Scott, Michael, Mark, Susan, Stacey, and step children Theresa and William.
