He worked for small electronic repair companies before accepting a position with RCA that started his life long career at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida in 1958.

Robert was the proud father to his daughters Arita Cook (Tom) and Gail Martin (Rusty), son Peter Bohannon (Eva), and granddaughters Kendra and Zoey Cook, Tamara Walden, and Kaitlyn Martin.

Sending condolences to Bob's family. He was a good friend and co-worker/leader. He was a hard worker, but also knew how to have fun. He will be missed! I worked with Bob in the RCA and CSR days at Patrick AFB. There was a time when we had a tv in our office, and at lunchtime, Bob would pull up a chair and say: Let's watch Jenny Jones! He enjoyed seeing all the crazy guests who would come on the show. He had a fun sense of humor. Hugs to Bob's family.
