Bob and his family moved to Algoma, where Bob graduated from the Algoma High School. He entered the US Army and served as a Paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division.

Bob enjoyed all the nature around his home and spent his time planting trees, gardening and collecting different types of rocks. Bob's faith with the Lord was very strong and knew the Lord would be there to take him home.
