Upon his honorable discharge from the Navy, he came home where he married Phyllis, the girl across the street, He then went to work at the family business established in 1874 as a machine shop and industrial knife sharpening business. By the time Bob retired, the business also expanded into the ice resurfacing business as a supplier to various ice rinks around the country.
Bob loved his family and time spending time with them was always a priority. Whenever possible he was involved in organizations that allowed him to be with family. This included the San Gioviani Bastista Society and most importantly, the Grosse Pointe Hockey Association where he was both a board member and a hockey coach for his sons' hockey teams.
Anyone who knew Bob knew his passion was boating. This passion lead to his involvement in the Clinton River Boat Club in Michigan, where he was Commodore. He was an active member of the Power Squadron in Michigan and on Marco Island he was the Boating Safety Instructor and a boat inspector. He served as Master of Ceremonies for the annual fund raiser for the Marco Island Sail & Power Squadron. He was the Power Squadron's first web master as he got their first web site up and running.
Most Sundays you could find Bob ushering the first mass of the day at San Marco Catholic Church. Afterwards, you would find him at a local Marco Island restaurant eating breakfast with friends. Friends and family knew that whenever Bob was around a good time was to be had by all. He was always smiling, laughing and had a story ready to tell.
