A hard working family man, Bob worked several jobs until his retirement in June of 2018. He enjoyed the people while working at Shop- Rite in Vails Gate, Newburgh, and Montgomery for over 30 years. This is where he met the love of his life, Robin Sinclair- Scott. It was love at first sight when Bob pulled up in front of Shop- Rite on his motorcycle. Robin proclaimed, "I am going to marry that guy someday!" That she did on June 8, 1990. Bob worked for NYSDOC at Fishkill for 29 years.

An avid Nascar fan, Bob enjoyed going to races, Yankee games with his family, motorcycles, lawn mowers, his 1979 Trans Am, long drives, spending time with friends, talking with his siblings each day, and watching his children Owen and Nicolette participate in sports and scouts.
