He spent his 30-year career at the Boynton Beach Post Office, starting as a letter carrier and retiring as the Assistant Postmaster.
Best known for his 37 years as a Little League coach, he gained respect and admiration as a mentor to young athletes as they aspired to reach the next level of accomplishment in sports and academics.
Coach is known to his close friends and family as the most likely to stay in touch. He could never leave a vacation spot or city without looking up a friend or old Navy buddy nearby.
He was a true patriot. Bob served his country in the US Navy as a member of the USS Orion crew for 5 years. After leaving the Navy, he continued to serve as an active member of the American Legion Post 164, the VFW Post 5355 and the Eagles. He donated his time to the VFW each week for over 30 years. His charity did not end there as he donated 333 units of blood, saving numerous lives over the years.
After retirement from the Post Office, he enjoyed boating and golfing with his beloved wife, Dale. He also enjoyed riding his bicycle and walking all over Boynton Beach. His relaxation time was spent listening to all kinds of music and reading.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to VFW Post 5355.
