 He had a passion for golf and found peace and joy on the greens, whether playing with his friends in the Men's golf group for which he was the commissioner or fulfilling his role as the President of the Men's Golf Association at Marsh Landing Country Club.

 Bob leaves behind his devoted wife of 36 years, Jackie; beloved son, Michael (Brittan); daughter, Taylor; adored grandchildren; Morgan and Cooper;  loving brother, A. Frank and wonderful sister, Nancy. He was preceded in death by his brother, George and his parents, Angelo and Nancy.
