Bob retired from the NYS Department of Corrections and he and Mary spent the winters in Port Orange, Florida with many friends who they consider family. Bob was a huge Nascar fan and could be found at the track with friends cheering on his favorite driver. Along with Nascar Bob enjoyed hiking, fishing and hunting.

Bob loved all his four-legged pets from, JD the Cat, Neco the Chow, Buster his first pup to Tucker the bird, even though he is only two legged.
