Bob was born in Oakland, California. He attended Ferndale High School where he enjoyed playing football and winning many games. In his late teen years, he was hired to become a fisherman spending his summers in the Alaskan waters. Like his father, he fell in love with being on the water. In the years to follow he became an accomplished reef-net mender and salmon fisherman.
Bob moved to Winthrop, WA, where he enjoyed searching for rocks and gold panning on the Twisp River. He also enjoyed kayaking with his mother’s boat on the Methow River.
Survivors include his mother Evelyn Wilkinson, sister Lynda Lucas, son Jeremy, and daughter Tonie Dawn, granddaughter Autumm and nephew Edward Lucas.
