     Bob was a Veteran of the United States Army, honorably serving during the Vietnam era in Japan.

     Bob worked as a Maintenance Technician for Griffin Pipe in Florence NJ for over 40 Years, where he retired from in 2009. He had a tireless work ethic and set a stellar example for his children. He was the hardest working man they ever knew.

     Bob loved muzzle loading and bow hunting with his sons, restoring old guns, furniture, and Volkswagens, crafting knives, collecting antiques and studying history, particularly the Revolutionary War period. He had a special love of animals, particularly dogs, and was known to often bring home a stray animal. Most of all, and especially as he aged, he loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. It didn’t matter what they asked him to do, he always showed up.

     Bob was a loving husband, father, and grandfather whose kindness, generosity, wisdom, and gentle spirit touched the lives of everyone he met. He leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories that will live in the hearts of his loved ones.
