Bob got his undergrad in Chemistry at Harvey Mudd College in California and went on to achieve his Masters and Doctorate in Polymer Sciences at UConn. He then began his 25+ year chemistry career with DuPont. After retirement he wrote captions for YouTube videos and began his own math and science tutoring business. Bob loved puzzles, TEDTalks, stained glass, skiing, and being involved in various charitable organizations. He will be sorely missed.
