Bob was an employee of both DuPont and Northrop Grumman, both in Charleston, for many years before retirement. He enjoyed traveling, movies, playing games or cards, animals of all kinds, being a jokester, and great conversation. Bob was one-of-a-kind who truly never met a stranger.

He had such a zest for life in communicating with all people. Bob had a very active role at Bethany UMC, especially in helping and serving with the Friendship Circle Sunday School Class. He created such dear relationships with other members there, and introduced his wife, Toni, to the group as well.Bob and Toni shared so much joy in traveling. They visited every continent except for Antarctica. They were such great companions for each other in that phase of their lives.Surviving are his step-children, Molly (Gabriel) Planas and Megan Skidmore; his siblings, Donald Fusarini, Donna (Martin) Barrier and Thomas (Patti) Fusarini; his grandson, Miguel Planas; his nephews Martin and Mitchell Barrier and their families; his nieces Amber Ripley, Angela Crum, and Amanda Fusarini and their families; and 9 great nieces and nephews.
