He is predeceased by his best friend Neil Clement. Bob was very active in the community, volunteering at the YMCA as a camp counsellor, coach, chaperone, and board member. He was an athlete from his youth, setting a half mile record that held for 22 years. He also played football and basketball in high school. He continued running during his Navy career as a member of the track team and never stopped, running in more marathons than we can count and winning the 10-mile regional championship for the South Jersey Track Club. He worked at DuPonts, going to college at the same time and earning a master's degree which allowed him to become a teacher. He taught at Penns Grove, Pennsville, Loveland, CO, and Concord, DE middle schools along with coaching track. His retirement was spent traveling with the love of his life, Jean, all around the world and hiking every state in the lower 48 to the high point. His love of life and faith in God carried him through until the end. He will be missed. His memorial service will be held Sunday, May 22nd at 5pm at Laughrey Funeral home in Pennsville where friends may call from 4:00 to 5:00 PM prior to the service. www.laughreyfuneralhome.com
