One location was in Aurora, LA. and the other in Covington, LA.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Who are his family members?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob was close to his large family growing up; his mother, a staunch Catholic, had eight children in nine years! Bob is the third oldest among five boys and three girls. The only sibling still living is his sister Kathleen who lives in Arizona. \u201cWe loved each other,\u201d Bob said about his big family.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Bob has lived in the New Orleans area his entire life. He went to Fourchette High School where he played football.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story of how Bob met&nbsp; his wife, Natalie, is amusing; Natalie originally dated Bob\u2019s younger brother Calvin! Calvin told Bob he wanted him to meet Natalie, and while he was hesitant to go out anywhere, when he saw Natalie for the first time he was floored. \u201cShe was the best-looking woman you ever laid eyes on,\u201d says Bob. \u201cShe hated me at first.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Bob could tell that Calvin and Natalie were not meant for each other, and he began talking to Natalie on the telephone. One day she asked Bob to come to the dance hall with her and Calvin, and over time Bob was able to steal her away. \u201cThat was it from there,\u201d says Bob. There was no bad blood in the family, though; Calvin was Bob\u2019s Best Man at his wedding, and Natalie later became best friends with Calvin\u2019s wife! Funnily enough, Bob married Natalie the day after she graduated from high school, when she was 17 and he was 21! Bob and Natalie were married for 65 years until Natalie passed in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob has three children: Robin, Roberta, and Robert. Sadly, Bob lost his oldest daughter Robin to a pulmonary embolism. Robin\u2019s death shocked Bob\u2019s wife Natalie, and she passed away from the same medical issue 30 days later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Who is Bob&#8217;s new friend?<\/span><\/h3>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Bob misses his family members who have passed over the years. Despite some of his losses, Bob gained a four-legged best friend: his dog Emma. \u201cNow, Emma,\u201d says Bob, \u201cI\u2019m madly in love with her. She\u2019s a Catahoula-Australian Shepherd mix.\u201d <\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><figure id=\"attachment_2860\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2860\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-80 wp-image-2860 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/laketown-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2020\/12\/IMG_0248.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/laketown-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2020\/12\/IMG_0248.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/laketown-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2020\/12\/IMG_0248-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/laketown-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2020\/12\/IMG_0248-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/laketown-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2020\/12\/IMG_0248-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2860\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Named after the Catahoula Parish in Louisiana, Catahoulas are very intelligent dogs. \u201cShe can almost read your mind.

Bob\u2019s trademark at Laketown Village is making jambalaya. Cindy Rooney, the Sales Director, says you can smell the jambalaya all throughout the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob loves dancing. He said, \u201cIn those days we called it jitterbug. I just like to move around.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>About COVID, Bob had the following to say: \u201cThat\u2019s rough. We\u2019re lucky here though. We have a courtyard we can go outside in. I can bring my dog out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob moved to Laketown Village about a year ago. \u201cI like everything about Laketown Village.
