Bob was a proud 14 year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He served his country in Vietnam and earned 3 Purple Hearts and a Navy Cross.

After his military career, Bob worked for 25 years at ConEdison in his home state of New York.
For 10 years Bob was an active volunteer at the Veterans Affairs in Cape Coral, FL. He loved giving back to his community and enjoyed being with other Veterans.

To Bob's entire Family my deepest sympathy. Bob fought a long hard battle. He always kept positive. I had only known Bob for a few years thru his involvement and studies with the Charlotte County Parliamentarians and found how special Bob was. He will be missed by all his friends with the parliamentary unit.
