He went on to become a highly decorated Finance Manager in the automobile industry. He raised his family in and around the suburbs of Chicago and later retired to Florida.

Bob loved the freedom of riding a motorcycle and being on the open road. He loved even more taking long car rides and Sunday afternoon drives with his family. He loved to talk and spend time with his family and friends. He loved decorating for the holidays and having the brightest house on the block. He loved camping and the outdoors and he loved to travel. He loved to play the piano and played so very beautifully. He loved his dogs. But most importantly, without fail, he always put others needs ahead of his own personal needs. Setting an example of being both generous and persistent in the pursuit of helping others. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends and anyone whom had the privilege of knowing him.
