Obituary
Age 75, passed away on Friday, February 26, 2021. Bob was born in Kalamazoo on September 4, 1945. Bob was the long-time Owner of the Long Lake Tavern. He also had retired after working in the boiler room for many years at the Upjohn Company. He was an avid bowler and enjoyed playing pool. He proudly served his nation in the U. S. Navy. Bob is survived by his grandchildren, Josh (Karen) McGregor and Nicole Martin; great-grandson, Jacob McGregor; and many friends.
Rest In Peace old friend. I remember when I first worked with you at Upjohn Building 43 in early 1977.
Bob you will be greatly missed! I loved our chats about life and how sweet you were to Arya. She just was always do excited to go to LLT. Her eyes would light up when she saw you go behind the bar to get her a little stuffed animal. Rest in peace
Bob will be greatly missed by many people. He was a great supporter of Kalamazoo APA pool league and was always there to help out the league. He would sincerely ask how I were doing and thank me for the league business when I left. It’s difficult to enter Long Lake Tavern and not see Bob sitting in “his” chair. RIP Bob. You were a good friend.
