He spent his life and career in Florida as a manufacturer's representative for Dixie Bedding, Bassett Furniture and Universal Furniture until his retirement.

Bob was a loyal friend and patriarch of the family; he loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was a proud 32nd degree Mason and a Past Master of his lodge, an avid water skier, as well as the "MacGyver" of the family, always willing to lend a hand. He was known for his witty sense of humor, his masterful skill of storytelling and natural ability to light up a room. He spoke with pride in his voice and a twinkle in his eye when talking about his bride, kids and grandkids.
