He and his wife, Peggy, built a home in Morris Plains in 1952, where they lived for 65 years. Bob was a member of St. Virgil’s parish, Knights of Columbus, and the Chrysanthemum Society at the Arboretum. An avid gardener, he won a blue ribbon in the Society’s 2012 flower show. He caddied at Springbrook Country Club as a teen, which began a life-long love of golf. He played with the “Over the Hill Gang” in Delaware Water Gap, PA until age 88.

He is also survived by his loving daughters, Jean (Hank) Barletta of Madison, and Barbara (Dick) Fleischmann of Hilton Head, SC, as well as his cherished grandchildren, Rob Barletta, Ryan Barletta, Jeramie (Tanner) Lambeseder, Noelle Fleischmann, and Kurt Fleischmann.
