In the 1930s, Bob's family moved to South Florida where he attended Dania Elementary, graduating from South Broward High School in 1945, and then enlisting in the Army during World War II. He graduated with a Business degree from Florida State University in 1950 and subsequently started his business, May Plumbing Company, as a mechanical, heating and air-conditioning contractor. Bob was a life-long Seminole fan and booster. He married Suzanne Goldberg in 1956 after only two dates and they raised four children in Hollywood. Bob was a proud member of the Kiwanis Club, a 60 year member of the Masons, and was President of the Florida Mechanical Contractors Association. After Bob's retirement in the 1990s, he and Suzanne moved to Alpharetta, Georgia.
