At an early age, Bob took on the responsibility of caring for his mother and sister. A keen student, he attended Michigan State University where he graduated with honors in 1941. Upon graduation, he married his beloved wife, Marian, and began a forty-five year romance. Marian passed away in 1986.
Bob joined a local Boy Scouts troop as young boy in Chicago. It was a relationship that would last for much of his lifetime. He became an Eagle Scout in high school and a Scout Master and Hike Master during college. As a professional, he served as a Scout Executive for Councils in Chicago, Southern Illinois and West Virginia. Bob retired from Scouting in 1965 and joined the Cumerford Corporation as a professional fund-raiser and public relations consultant for not-for-profit groups.
In later years, Bob was co-organizer of San Diego North County Philanthropy Council and established "Wordsmiths" for people who were interested in creative writing. A Rotarian since 1950, he was an active member of the Rotary Club of Rancho Bernardo and instrumental in building the Rancho Bernardo Rotary Charitable Foundation.
