After graduating high school, he worked several different jobs and was always known for his kind and helpful personality.  In 1985 he moved to Manahawkin to work with a friend as a house painter. Bob took great pride in his craft, leaving his mark on countless homes across the Jersey Shore. He wasn't just a painter, he was the guy neighbors knew they could count on.  Bob enjoyed working with his best friends for the past forty-one years.  Eventually, he started his own painting business.  Bob enjoyed fishing, hanging out with his buddies and spending time with his family.

Bob will be greatly missed by his three sisters (Barbara, Wanda and Annamarie), three brothers (Patrick, Timothy and Francis) and his many nieces and nephews.  He will be greatly missed by his many friends, especially Chuck, Tim and Steve who enjoyed his kindness, humor and loyalty.
