He served as a deacon of Peachtree Presbyte- rian Church and became a member of the Capital City Club. Family and golf were first priorities for Bob, and often they were enjoyed simultaneously. He was ultimately proud of his sons Rob and Pete, and worked fervently at the relationships that he had with these two terrific young men. In their youths, he had coached them in basketball and soccer; and he coached them in life. Bob cherished the time he spent with them; he was a great coach.

Bob Northway was very taken with the world around him. He was a superb gardener; his back- yard was teeming with exotic species of plants indigenous to the southeastern states. He was me- ticulous about his diet, generally avoiding red meats; he loved fresh fruits and vegetables. He had a deep concern for the environment and practiced conservation religiously. Bobby touched us all and will be missed in ways unimaginable.
