He graduated from Tilden Technical High School in 1944 and was immediately drafted into the U.S. Army. Bob was assigned to the 35th Inf. Reg, 25th Inf.

A proud member of Sheetmetal Workers Union Local #73, Bob retired in 1991 after working 24 years as a "tin-knocker" for Binks Mfg in Franklin Park, IL. He was a lifelong member of the Croatian Fraternal Union of America, Lodge 32 (Chicago). In retirement Bob enjoyed his family, travel, golf, bowling, table games (esp. Rummikub), and various hobbies. Bob was a loyal friend and family man; a tinkerer, a fixer of all things mechanical, and a repeat-offending Buick owner. Preceded in death by his father Ignac Pintur, mother Ana Pintur (Kunovic); wife of 27 years & mother of his children Mary Jane Pintur (Costin); sister Lillian Barkich (Pintur); long-time ladyfriend Joan Beary; and a prized '29 Ford Model A Roadster, complete with a rumble seat and brakes that required two people to manage...he wished he never sold that car.
