Bob was a graduate of Mass State (UMass Amherst-BA History) and Columbia (MBA). He served with distinction as a decorated naval officer in WWII. Bob carried over that love of the sea into a life-long sailing hobby, swimming in cold ocean water, and enjoying seafood. In winters and with a “can-do” spirit, he skied until he was almost 90, passing on his love for skiing to his sons. He spent his work years in sales and materials procurement.
Bob and Shirley provided a loving Jewish home for family. Their children’s and grandchildren’s love of family, well-being, and success is a testament to their guidance and they passed on of his values of brotherhood, tolerance, and ethics.
