Bob grew up in Ridgefield, NJ.  He graduated high school from St. Cecilia's in Englewood, NJ.  He spent some time in Germany in the U. S. Army, then he came home and married his sweetheart, Sylvia in 1959.  They raised their six sons in Closter, NJ where he was active in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts.  Bob also coached baseball for many years.

He was an avid Yankee fan and despite having both vision and hearing problems, he always seemed to know what happened in last night's game.

Robert retired as a Detective Sergeant with the Closter Police Department after receiving a serious injury on the job.  He was dedicated to the youth of Closter.  After retiring, he was involved in several business endeavors in town.  At that time, he was an active member of the Closter Chamber of Commerce.

Bob and Sylvia moved to Las Vegas in 1993 and enjoyed their retirement playing golf, traveling a bit and visiting the casinos for a bite to eat and a little video poker.  They enjoyed having visitors and showing them around town.
