Bob was a gifted master carpenter, entrepreneur, and long time Project Manager for Shulman Industries He was a larger than life character who loved playing the guitar, tinkering with cars (especially his prized 1984 Scrambler) and the many boats he owned throughout his life. Bob and Jeanne purchased a beautiful piece of oceanfront property years ago in South Andros, Bahamas and together they designed and were building their dream retirement home. For the past few years, they enjoyed spending summers in Babylon and winters in Andros where they had many friends and were loved and respected by the island residents.

Bob had an illustrious ability to entertain with both his story telling and his music, and was known for his wide network of friends, unending optimism, generosity. His was a Life Well-Lived and he will be sorely missed by all his family and friends.

Bob’s wish was for no funeral service but wanted a party for family and friends. Plans to honor his wishes with a Celebration of Life will be forthcoming once it is safe to do so.
