Bob was a veteran of the United States Army, having served our country during the Vietnam War. Following his discharge from the military, he came home and went to work as a machine mechanic and maintenance technician at US Gypsum for over 40 years, retiring in 2008. While at US Gypsum, he won an award for an idea he had to make empty pails not spill over as they were being filled while on the production line.
