He retired in 2009 from Ford, Bacon and Davis where he worked as a Piping Designer. Bob was an avid fisherman and loved angling with friends and family.

His other passion was his love for old-time string band music. An accomplished musician on guitar, banjo and fiddle. His skills allowed him to build a beautiful banjo. He had weekly music sessions with friends, keeping the music alive.

Mourot; two daughters, Andrea Tilley and her husband Wendell of Nashville, TN, and Rachel Bourgeois and her husband Andrew of Baton Rouge, LA; one brother, Philip Mourot and his wife Nikki; four grandchildren, Rook, Neva, and Floan Tilley and Brody Bourgeois; and a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
