He served in the National Guard. Bob loved all things mechanical. He loved racing dragsters and was an IHRA World Champion. The racing world knew him as "Mr. Lucky" #5 which he earned by his love of winning. One of his and his family's proudest moments was his induction into the Miami/Hollywood Speedway Park Hall of Fame in 2014. In Bob's later years, he enjoyed riding his Harley with family and friends. Bob retired in 1989 as the Chief Mechanic for the City of Hollywood at which time he moved to Cruso, NC where he had a family vacation home since 1976.
