An avid golf lover, R.O. belonged to Kenosha Country Club for over 38 years. In addition to his interest in real estate he loved nothing more than being in the company of his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Eleanore Becker and his sister, Claudia Bullock. He will be sadly missed by numerous nieces and nephews and countless friends.
