Together with their first 3 children, they moved to Pittsburgh, where they raised all 13 of their children. Bob worked for Westinghouse as a Quality Control Engineer. After retirement, Bob and Bee moved to North Ft. Myers, FL., where they have lived for the past 23 years.Bob was a “jack of all trades” and a master of MANY, especially his greatest work – his family. Bob was a devoted husband and father, a man of deep faith, which was nurtured on the Word and Sacrament as he participated in daily Mass after his retirement. When asked how he was, he would always reply “another day in paradise.” He would often be found outside puttering in his garden, which was his favorite hobby.Bob will be remembered for his love for Bee, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; his love of nature; and his quiet yet commanding presence. He truly was “the leader of the band.”A special “thank you” to the Hope Hospice Team for their outstanding care, compassion and assistance during this difficult time – they were wonderful, especially Noel.
