Bob graduated from Newcomerstown High School in 1969, after being First Team All Ohio in football. He achieved his Master’s in Public Administration at Ohio University.

He developed the Morris Crossing project, which included the Hampton Inn and Wendy’s. His sons were his absolute pride and joy, and he instilled in them a sense of hard work and manners.
