Bob graduated with honors from Bishop Neumann High School in South Philadelphia in 1965.

In his early years, Bob worked at Abbott’s Dairies alongside four of his brothers and his brother-in-law, Charlie, for several years. Then he became an Administrator for the Philadelphia Corporation for the Aging and later a Security Supervisor for a large Architect firm where he worked when he retired.

Bob was an avid reader of all the great novels and a major fan of all the classic films. He could recall clearly all the scenes in great detail. Bob was also a prolific poet who wrote some very moving pieces which revealed the very thoughtful and gentle man he was.

He was also a supporter of Ayn Rand’s philosophy (Objectivism) and her great novels.

At family gatherings, with his outstanding memory, Bob could evoke family memories, flavored with his creative humor, making all of us the more lifted for it.

He will be greatly missed by family and his many friends.

Interment is private. A Celebration of Life for family and friends will be celebrated at a later date.
