Bob graduated from Brunswick High School and Valdosta State College with a degree in history where he was member of the Kappa Alpha Order. He was a stockbroker with Robinson Humphrey, for several years, in Valdosta, Georgia. His next career was in the tourism field where he was the Director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau in Dothan, Alabama, until his retirement. Bob made friends easily and cherished them all. He enjoyed playing golf, the Georgia Bulldogs, history, and beach music. Bob was an immensely proud father and grandfather, and he dearly loved his faithful dog, Winston. He had a strong faith in God and was a member of the Episcopal Church of The Nativity in Dothan, Alabama.

Bob was the ultimate optimist and was able to make me see that glass half full at an early age. Bob introduced me to Captain America back in the late 60's, and how I appreciate that now with the flood of Marvel movies. He played drums and had an impressive concert poster collection, a real music enthusiast. Bob was a lifeguard at Sea Island Beach Club and would drive us home if we were stranded there, he was always gracious and never complained because he always saw the fun in everything. Its been awhile since I saw him in Milton visiting Laura, he hadn't changed a bit and was excited about his tourism gig. To his family please accept my sincerest sympathy, the world was a better place with Bob in it.

To Bob´s family. Bob was one of the good guys. He was a dear friend for decades through the tourism industry. He was a great dancer, delightful conversationalist and could rock a turtle neck like no one else. I will miss him greatly. Our tourism conferences will not be the same without him. My sincere sympathy is extended to you all. He loved him family!
