Bob was a man who stood out in the crowd, with his sparkling sea blue colored eyes and his Redford smile. He was extremely handsome, smart, intelligent, and a successful businessman with a wonderful sense of humor. He lived life to the fullest (he did it "My Way"). In 1979, he married the love of his life, Nicole Less. They had a storybook life.
