Following retirement R.B. spent as much time in the outdoors as he could.  He loved ginseng hunting and took pride in doing so.  He was a big Kentucky basketball fan and enjoyed watching them on T.V.  His pride and joy were his grandkids.  He loved following them around and watching them play baseball, where he very rarely missed a game.  Most recently he loved watching his great-grandkids ball games and cheering them on any time he was able to attend.
