Bob was born in Augusta on April 5, 1950. He attended Erskine Academy and served in the Job Corps. Bob always enjoyed spending time with people telling stories, sharing his knowledge, and most of all making people laugh. He loved his coffee and was a regular at many diners around the state.

Bob was a carpenter all his life. He worked at BIW, then as a contractor building many houses, garages and barns in the area. For 27 years, he worked for Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife as a carpenter, certified scuba diver and heavy equipment operator. He loved operating the excavator and was very skilled at it. Bob also did many post and beam buildings before it gained the current popularity.

Bob lived in Windsor all of his life. He gave back to the community in many ways. He was a Boy Scout leader and sat on the Eagle Scout Council. He was involved in many Windsor school projects. He worked for the Windsor Fair starting as a teenager. He became a trustee of the fair in 1999. He served as President of the Windsor Historical Society for 39 years.
