Bob and Eleanor (of Millville, NJ) met in the summer of 1961 in Brigantine, NJ where Bob’s family owned a shore home. They were married in June of 1962 while Bob served in the Navy as an airdale based at Patuxent River, MD.

Bob played saxophone for Woodland and Ferko String Bands and enjoyed progressive horn bands such as Chicago and Tower of Power. He liked muscle cars, especially his prized 1973 Grand Am. Bob enjoyed relaxing with a cigar, especially when he could get his hands on a good Cuban. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Alzheimer’s Association.
