He attended Cumberland High School, where he was a gifted athlete. He starred in almost every sport he played, however, he was truly gifted in golf and baseball.

From time to time Bob could be seen around town, from Chapel Four Corners to the Valley, where he would befriend many, including many business owners. For a time he was the owner of Bob's Express Roofing and was always with his iconic blue van.

In addition to his sister, he leaves many nieces and nephews, and beloved friends, all around the town.

Although he lived a life with little or no means, his family history, his athletic achievements, and his friendly outgoing personality made him beloved by those who met him.

Relatives and friends are kindly invited to Bob's Life Celebration to be held with Visiting Hours on Monday, August 2, 2021, from 5 to 7 pm.

A prayer service will be held at 7 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cumberland Fraternal Order of Police Association, PO Box 237, Cumberland, RI 02864.
