Born and educated in Boston, Bob was a U.S. Air Force Veteran who served with the 85th Ammunition Supply Squadron during the Korean Conflict. He was a machinist by trade and always willing to share his extensive knowledge. Bob enjoyed many hobbies; he restored antique cars and trucks and drove them in parades throughout the South Shore. He collected and repaired clocks, and could always find a treasure in his travels to the Goodwill Store in Quincy. A self-taught musician, Bob loved playing the piano and the guitar. At Brookdale Senior Living in Quincy, his residence since 2015, he was known as "The Piano Man."
Bob was a member of the Knights of Columbus, the South Shore Antique Auto Club, and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Family and friends will miss his wit, stories, and the very unique gifts he would purchase and pass along to the person he thought could most use them.
