After his retirement, he and Beth became the owner/operators of Jan-Pro Cleaning Systems of Southern, CT. After selling the business, he fulfilled his dream of helping people, and was the Director of Pastoral Care at New Beginnings Community Church. He was known for his humility and genuine love for people. Bob was gentle, kind and generous. He was known as “FUB”, Fun Uncle Bob, to all his nieces and nephews. As a member of New Beginnings Community Church, his greatest joy was holding the church door open every Sunday, and greeting each and every person who came through by name. He loved riding his Harley, family vacations in Ormond Beach, buying donuts for the grandchildren, having his cigar and seeing his friends every Tuesday night at the lounge.
