Bob dedicated over three decades of his professional career as the Director of Facilities and Business Manager at the University of Dayton. His contributed significantly to the university's expansion projects, including the construction of the arena, Bombeck Family Learning Center, and Keller Hall, among others. Prior to his tenure at the university, Bob worked as an accountant with Ernst & Young.

Outside of his professional life, Bob found joy in his numerous memberships and hobbies. He and his wife, Mary, held a strong faith as active members of The Church of the Incarnation. Volunteering was a cornerstone of his retirement, as he generously dedicated his time to St. Vincent de Paul, Catholic Social Services Food Pantry, provided respite for Alzheimer caregivers, drove those in need to medical appointments, and volunteered at the University of Dayton Heritage Center.

Bob's vibrant spirit was complemented by his sense of humor and quick wit. He had an uncanny ability to bring laughter to those around him. Bob and Mary had a wonderful group of friends.  They traveled, laughed, and played cards together throughout the years.
