Bob was the former proprietor of Pinter's Hotel and worked for some time as a food service manager for MW Wood Co. at Lehigh, Lafayette & Cedar Crest Colleges. In 1984 he and his son Francis started American Printing in Easton. Fran successfully runs the business today.

Dear Nancy and Family,
We were so saddened to hear about Bob. He will be sorely missed. My favorite partner for card playing! We share only a portion of your grief, especially Allen, who worked under his supervision, along with Fran, of course. We cannot imagine how it is to loose your high school beau and life mate of over 60 years! Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you, especially after the family leaves and you may still need a shoulder to cry on, for instance.
Love and Prayers,
Allen and Lois Au
