When Bob left the military he managed several
different restaurants in the Houston, TX area over
a 12 year period. From 1984 through 2005 he
moved to Ormond Beach, FL. Bob started his own
business and worked as a Private Investigator from
1984 through 2005. He was forced to retire when
he learned that he had breast cancer. After a
strict regiment of chemotherapy he was cancer free
for a year and a half. In April of 2007 he was
involved in a serious car accident after passing
out at the wheel. During tests it was learned
that the cancer had matastasized in his brain.
Bob passed away peacefully on 11/16/07.
Bob was not only a great Platoon Leader but a
great friend as well. I was fortunate enough to
be able to spend a week with him in July of 07.
I'll never forget him and what he did in service
of his country.
