While he received most of his dog training experience and knowledge from the late Don Garren, a dog training specialist for the U.S. Coast Guard, Bob traveled to and learned from skilled trainers of canine training facilities in England, Scotland Yard, and Italy. For over sixty years he shared his training abilities by offering classes designed to give people better communication skills with their canine companions.

Together they were devoted to their rat terriers, dog obedience classes, working their property, and trail riding with their mules. Although he enjoyed his horses, Bob felt a strong connection with mules often saying that he “felt sorry for the mule because they got a bad rap. America was built by mules and they never receive the credit they deserve, or any pleasure; they just work.” He is survived by his wife of thirty-six years, Carol Lucas Whiteside, sister-in-law Linda Lucas Steele (Roger), cousin Barbara Williams Carper (George), nieces, nephews, and many friends.
