Along his 22 year career he visited many places and settled his family in Marietta Georgia in 1966. After retiring from the Navy, he started a new career as a police officer at Southern Tech, and enjoyed the student and campus life. He talked fondly of watching the famous bathtub races! He made an impact on many. While there, he was named employee of the year! He loved that his daughter Charleen, graduated from Southern Tech, while he worked there. Once retired from Southern Tech, he went on to wear his third uniform, as security personnel for Lockheed Martin. Besides his work life, Bob loved fishing with his boys. Over the years he passed down the love of fishing. He enjoyed tournaments where he could hang out with his sons and other fishermen. He loved college football and cheered on his favorite Notre Dame! But after decades of the Georgia Life, he was always happy for a Bulldog win! The family would like to thank everyone that has reached out and sent love, prayers, food, and hugs. We deeply appreciate each and everyone one of you.
