In the beginning of his career, he was employed with the Virginia Department of Highways as a road design engineer and assisted with designing sections of Interstate 81. He considered himself fortunate as he later worked as a construction engineer with Moore Brothers, Inc. of Verona and assisted with building sections of the road and bridges he helped design.

Bob had a strong sense of loyalty to his family and friends. He never met a stranger and accepted all with a non-judgemental curiosity to know about their lives. He was inquisitive and loved learning new things. He was full of knowledge from his life experiences and was a master at sharing those experiences with others. Bob’s love of life, kindness, and generosity touched many, many lives and all were proud to be called his friend.

A memorial service will be conducted at 11:00 AM on Friday, May 9, 2025, at St. John’s United Methodist Church in Staunton with the Reverend Jonathan Greer officiating. A reception will follow.
