Bob was drafted in the United States Army. After serving his country, he graduated from Moravian University. He was then hired by the United States Government to work in Washington, DC. During that time, he travelled extensively in his role with the Government Accounting Office, including a two-year assignment in Saigon. Fairfax, Virginia was his home for 40 years until he moved to Southern Pines, North Carolina where he lived at Gracious Living until his death.

Bob loved Broadway shows, opera, reading and travelling. Paris was his favorite city in the world.

There will be a graveside service on July 19, 2025, at the National Cemetery followed by a luncheon. Special memories of Bob will be shared at that time by family and friends.

Although Bob will no longer be physically present in our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire us to move forward in our own special ways to honor him. May his memory be a blessing to us all.
