Bobby was active within the Boy Scouts, both as a child and an adult. He obtained the rank of Eagle Scout and was a leader for 10 years. He coached little league and youth basketball and was well known for his musical talent and was a bass player for Squash in his younger years and most recently with Good Question. He loved to express his singing talent many times through karaoke.

He was an avid sports fan, cheering for his teams: Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee Bucks, and New York Islanders.

"And years down the road when we all have a touch of grey, we listen to those old tapes and say, 'well what the hey.' So we go back downstairs, and blow off all the dust, cause you know my friends, good old rock and roll, it never dies.
