Proud graduate of St. Raymond's and Joliet Catholic High School, he also studied at Joliet Junior College. He served in the U.S Army from 1962 until honorably discharged in 1964 and was a Parts Manager for Hills Auto and Dupre Inc. Bob wasn't much for travel, but never missed a chance to see his grandchildren in Washington, DC, fish in Michigan, or escape the winter by going down to Florida. Braidwood Recreation Club was his second home. He often unwound over meals with his spouse and friends at the American Legion or just quietly relaxed with a book. Bob was a loving father and husband, avid fisherman and devoted grandfather whom we will miss more than he could ever know.
