Bob (as he was known by many), was born in Whitestone, NY, on December 21, 1941. He graduated from St. Helena’s HS, in Bronx, NY, in June of 1959, and joined the US Navy in July of 1959. Bob and Barbara, childhood sweethearts, married in June of 1961. He served in the Navy honorably until 1978 when he retired. He loved the Navy and the travel it afforded him. He was heard many times joking that “he had been all over the world and parts of Georgia”. Bob was a Personnel man on four ships: USS Elokomin, AO-55, USS Forest Royal DD-872, USS Forrestal CVA-59, and USS Eisenhower CVN-6. He and Barbara also spent 3 years in London, England and two tours of duty (beginning in 1965 and then 1971) in Orlando, Florida. This enabled his five children to grow up in the Sunshine state. After he retired from the Navy, he was employed by the US Postal Service. He filled an assortment of positions but his favorite, by far, was his position as Employee Assistance Professional (EAP). He found it very rewarding and was able to help many people. Bob retired from the Postal Service in 1997. He finally had time for fishing, golfing, cooking, running, playing poker, and spending time with his family, friends, neighbors and eventually his grandchildren. Bob was loved and will be missed by many for his kindness and wit.
