Bob's income producing years were spent with John Deere. He began in Engineering and switched to Marketing which involved considerable travel, Meeting people and living in various parts of America.

Upon retiring to the Village, Bob served on the POA Village Promotions Committee, Chamber of Commerce, Stewardship for the Parish, the A & E Building Committee and fundraising for the addition.

About a year ago, Bob accepted a five-year appointment by the Bishop as a Director on the Board of the Diocesan Seminarian Fund.

Bob and Mary Anne became acquainted with Fr. Mike Hinken during one of his visits to the Village. Fr. Mike was doing Missionary work in Honduras. Fr. Mike sent Bob photos of a Lencan Indian girl that was born without a left arm and left leg. Bob and Mary Anne started the “Walking with Karen” fund. Bob asked the Knights for financial assistance at which time it was suggested that “He Become a Knight”!

Fr. Hinken brought Karen to America with only the clothes on her back. She lived with the Honzik's as the Shrine Hospital in Shreveport, LA developed prostheses and taught her to walk. Bob and Mary Anne flew Karen back to Honduras after her first visit here which was for a month, and they witnessed her parents seeing her walk for the first time.  Karen returned to Hot Springs Village every other year for seven years. The “Walking With Karen” fund also provided her with a Catholic education.  Karen is now in the Mountain Village of San Bartolo teaching school.
