Bob graduated a Whitehall Ram 1966 and promptly began serving our country in The United States Air Force. While proudly navigating Air Force opportunities, Bob gravitated and excelled in the electronics/communications field. Upon completing his service duties Bob returned to create several business opportunities, culminating in founding his company Digital & Analog Design. He developed D.A.D. as owner & CEO to become a leader in complex integrated phone communications systems.

Bob loved the outdoors, nature, travel and exploration. Most likely his biggest affinity was cars! Many nights around a campfire, with a cold beer, were had listening and sharing stories of corvettes, jeeps, trucks and his beloved Porsche.

Fortunate to have retired early Bob found and landed in his true happy place, the island of Dominica. Over his final 26 years of life he developed wonderful friendships, his island family.

As great as the power Bob felt from the island, it will pale in comparison to the love and memories we all hold in our hearts for him. He will be missed immensely and remembered forever.
