Bob was an avid golfer and member of the Binghamton Country Club for over 65 years. He loved his cottage and fishing at Lake Bonaparte in upstate NY, walks in the woods and looking for golf balls with Boots, his trusty Yorkie. He most enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.

He was a hard worker and provider for his family, and a kind, caring, selfless and respectful man. Bob always put others before himself and will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. The family would like to express special gratitude to the Nurses, Doctors and Staff at UHS, Wilson North Tower3, Palliative Care and Management Care. Also, gratitude to the compassionate team at The Mercy House, Endicott NY.
