Bob graduated from Jamestown High School and the University of Louisville in Kentucky, where he played varsity basketball.  Most of his thirty-eight years in teaching were in Wayne Township in Marion County, Indiana.  He enjoyed coaching and golfing.  He was a brother of the Bridgeport Lodge #162 and a member of the Valley of Indianapolis Scottish Rite.  Retirement was a dream come true, living on a golf course watching the action.
