Bob worked in his mother’s floral shop in Colorado from 1964-1978.  Then moved to Mesa Arizona where he opened the first of three Floral/Home Accessory/Interior Design stores in Mesa, Chandler and Scottsdale called Flowers ‘N Such, Home Finale, and ICA. Bob designed with color and comfort and is remembered for his “thinking out of the box” designs. After 36 years, he retired to travel more, work a little and play with his grandkids. Bob was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he held many positions.  He has 4 children and 8 grandchildren who called him Geeps, to carry on his legacy.
