He grew up in San Bruno, California until his junior year of high school. Bob met his high school sweetheart in San Bruno. Robert Vernon Mozingo and Bernice Merrie Tait were married March 10, 1962. He became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1963. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan temple in the summer of 1969.
Bob had a love for the outdoors, hunting, horses, sports, four-wheeling, and spending time with his family and grand kids. Bob’s employment started with Pacific Bell in California where he worked on projects such as the San Francisco Airport. Bob came across an article for duck hunting in Utah and immediately put in a request for a transfer to Ogden, Utah. Later they purchased a farm in Honeyville where they raised a family for 38 years. Bob was very involved in church athletics and youth programs. He served four years as a missionary at the Cinnamon Creek campgrounds and served four years teaching seminary to special needs adults. He was a volunteer for the Franklin County Senior Citizen Center for 15 years. In his later years he served as a temple worker in the Logan Temple. His favorite pastime was trapping gophers on the farm with his two black labs.
