Bob lived his life in a quiet unassuming way. An avid fisherman, hunter, and canoeist, he loved being outdoors. The Adirondacks were dear to his heart. A shining example of how to handle adversity with magnificent grace, strength, and humor, he withstood and overcame most of life’s storms. A World War II Veteran and jack-of-all-trades, he owned and operated a local tavern The Cedar Grove Inn, and retired from Xerox Corp. and Empire Returns Recycling. He was an exemplary father, grandfather, and uncle, and truly a friend to all who met him.
