He was loved and surrounded by a multitude of friends near and far, reminding them how much they meant to him by sending stacks of Christmas cards each year.
His greatest love and joy was his family. Gatherings large and small, he was there no matter where the celebration was happening. He had the most fun being on the water fishing or just cruising in his boat.
Bob was devoted to his Catholic faith. He served as an altar boy in West Point and was a past Grand Knight of Knights of Columbus Council 9056 at St Gregory’s. He also attended Holy Family Catholic Church.
The family would like to thank the Nursing Staff at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital, especially Sophie and Jaclyn whose kindness and compassion will never be forgotten.
