Bob was a graduate of Sacred Heart, voted best looking in his class of 1954. He worked on his family farm for many years. There were many farm life stories, the family proudly, compassionately caring for the cows. Additionally, Bob was the cattle dealer, trucking the cows to market. Bob loved his parents Leo and Rachel immensely long after they were gone. He enjoyed riding his Harley, hunting and fishing with friends. He was well loved by many in the community and many referred to him as the mayor of Newport and enjoyed visiting with his adopted family at West Side Deli in Newport.

Bob had a heart of gold. He shared his childlike wonder and contagious humor with everyone. His spontaneity lit up any room. He was friendly to all.
