Bob was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 22, 1944. He was a barber by trade for over 50 years. He was an incredibly talented musician and artist, who could play most any song by ear on the guitar or piano. Bob was a jack-of-all-trades whose interests, specialties, and careers ranged from being a business owner, a chimney sweep, an EMT, a chef, and almost a nurses assistant. He was a wonderful story teller, a doting Baba (grandpa), and was passionately protective of his family. Bob loved those close to him with his whole heart. We will always remember him for being authentically generous, affectionate, and kind. Bob was one-of-a-kind and will be missed forever and loved always.

“If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall

Or the mountains, should crumble, to the sea

I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no-no-no I won’t shed a tear

Just as long, as you stand, by me”
