A man of unwavering dedication, Bob proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force. Following his military service, he embarked on a distinguished career in law enforcement. Bob was a retired longtime police officer with the Wheeling Police Department and also held the position of Ohio County House Arrest Officer.

Bob was passionate about exercise throughout his life. He was a devoted member of the Howard Long Wellness Center, where he spent countless hours working out and promoting a healthy lifestyle. His enthusiasm extended to sports as well, as he was an avid fan of the WVU Mountaineers.
