He graduated from Mount Assumption Institute in Plattsburgh, N.Y., in 1948, and was a graduate of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh with a B.S. degree in education. He served in the U.S. Air Force for 24 years, retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He served in the Korean War, Minuteman Missile Program and Vietnam. Bob taught special education at Castleberry High School from 1976-1991. Bob was a member of St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church and served on various committees and programs. Bob was known to his family and friends as a most kind and generous person. He never passed up an opportunity to be of help to a person and their needs. A better word to describe Bob would be "a good Samaritan" to all. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
