Bob was raised in Stuyvesant, NY, served in the US Coast Guard, & moved to Brevard County, FL during the “Space Race” for their job opportunities. He spent many years with Pan Am before moving on to a supervisor position with Brevard County Parks & Recreation. This is where he thrived! Bob became involved in church league softball, which lead to coaching his son in baseball, his daughter in softball, directing tournaments, mentoring so many young people, and being honored & inducted into the Amateur Softball Hall of Fame.
He served his family, his Church, and his community well and he will be remembered for his life and his legacy.
