Bob graduated from John Marshall High School in 1970.  After high school he joined the Air Force Reserves during the Vietnam War.  He graduated from OSU with a B.S. degree in Business.  HE BLED ORANGE!!!!  While he was attending college, he was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity and was honored to be the Vice President in 1977.  His brothers fondly called him Moth! He treasured his time as a Phi Delt and all the guys.

Bob was an entrepreneur.  He owned several businesses – Rose Furniture, Deck and Den, Guardian Warehouse and was a Furniture Representative for several different companies.  He worked hard and never complained.

He was very generous with his time by coaching girls’ basketball, softball and sometimes volleyball.  He volunteered for several years at the Casady concession stand, “Jimmys”  which he adored doing and probably would be still doing if he hadn’t got sick. This service was important to him plus he loved assisting Casady School!

He also served as a Shriner of the India Shrine Temple! He loved all the guys in that group!

He had a passion for cooking and was really good at it.  You could not pass up his mashed potatoes.
