As a grandfather, Bob's heart swelled with pride for his grandchildren, Samnang, Sokha, Jessica (Sophak), and Lisa, each of whom carried forward the values he instilled in them. His legacy continued to grow with the arrival of his great-grandchildren—Ethan, Kendrix, Khalon, Evan, Kairi, Edison, Kena, and Franklin—bringing a new generation into his embrace, each adding further joy and purpose to his life.
