In the mid-1960s, Bob served in the U. S. Navy, including aboard the USS Hornet aircraft carrier in Vietnam and at a remote radar base on Adak Island in the Aleutians.
Bob graduated from Stanford University in 1970 with a B.A. in Political Science and then earned his JD from King Hall School of Law at U.C. Davis in 1973. Following law school, Bob worked for the State Bar of California in various leadership roles for over ten years. In 1985, he founded and became President of The Lawsmiths, an innovative company that placed high-quality lawyers with law firms on a temporary basis.
Also in 1985, Bob met his wife, Carla Repetto, and they married in 1987. In 2002, Bob obtained his Real Estate Brokers License and he and Carla worked together as a team at CR Realty until 2024.

Bob served as a Trustee from 2008 - 2020 and was Vice Chair from 2012 - 2016.
Bob will be greatly missed by his wife, Carla; his siblings, Abby Hilson, Debby Trotter (Dave), Ben Webster (Joy); Carla's sisters, Denise Branch (John), Marisa Riparbelli (David); and all his wonderful nieces and nephews and their children.
