He moved to Guilford Lake after retirement, where he was an active member in the community. He was often referred to as “the Mayor of Guilford Lake” by dear friends and neighbors who gathered every morning at his home for coffee.

Bob is survived and will be greatly missed by his three daughters: Kathleen Barrett, Debra (Bruce) Zurawsky and Jennifer Herron, all of Pittsburgh, Pa., sister Susan (Larry) Lantz of Springfield, Ohio.
