Bob graduated from Austintown Fitch High School and honorably served his country in the United States Marine Corp, Airborne Division, as Corporal E4 from 1970 to 1972. He lived life to its fullest and ended each day with wine in a coffee mug. He loved woodworking and made furniture, tables, and other "Bob Judy" creations for family and friends. Bob enjoyed traveling by Amtrack for cross country trips across the country with his wife, brother, and sister-in-law. He loved family beach vacations and the yearly Myrtle Beach trip with his wife and their closest friends. Bob also enjoyed gardening and took considerable pride in his vegetable and flower gardens. He always had the best-looking lawn in the neighborhood. Bob was everyone's favorite neighbor who was always lending a hand with whatever needed done from cutting grass to moving TV's. He taught his sons-in-law how to do things around the house from remodeling to building a chicken coop. Anyone who knew him said "he was the best guy ever."
