Bob had married and is survived by Mary Lou Gerard Campbell, though they were later divorced. Bob loved Colorado and had recently said the last 10 years he’d spent as a resident of Olathe had been the best of his life. The residents of Olathe and Montrose called our dad “Pizza Bob.” He loved the mountains and sharing his love for them with others with drives every Sunday on the trails of Ouray.
