Bob served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War era. He worked in Sales for many years before his retirement. Bob enjoyed life to the fullest traveling, being with friends, and celebrating all special occasions. He was an avid poker player, affectionately known in the casinos as ‘Jiminy Cricket’ because he would always bring to the table a lucky figurine that was given to him by his daughter. He was a true Italian who enjoyed food, music, playing the piano, and spending time with family. He will be very missed, and fondly remembered.
