Legacy
Bob was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and brother.  He had the gift of gab and was pretty much friends with everyone he met.  One of his passions in life was "Tinkering" on cars, boats and airplanes.  His job, being an Aircraft Mechanic, became more than a job and turned into a lifelong hobby.  If Bob's kids, grandkids or others needed help with fixing their cars, changing oil or a tire, or anything else, well, Bob was there for them.   He found the importance of not only fixing things for everyone, but also teaching them how to fix it for themselves in the future.  His family will attest, "There wasn't anything he couldn't fix." 
When he was younger, he grew up spending time with his father, flying airplanes.  He truly loved spending this special time with his dad.  Bob also loved his boat and spent numerous years at Forked River with his family on his boat.   Bob could "Do it all", and he truly loved his daily routine and enjoyed being a true "Diner Junkie". He proudly served our country in the US Navy.

Family
