Bob served two tours of duty with the USMC in WWII and Korean War and received a National Defense Medal and Marine Corps Reserve Medal. He was a graduate of Colgate University for psychology.

Don't think of him as gone away, his journey's just begun. Life holds so many facet's, this earth in only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth of comfort where there are no days or years. Think of how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really fade away and think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched for nothing loved is ever lost, and he was loved so much by so many.
