He moved to Warner Robins and started his three-decade long civil service career. During his tenure at Robins Air Force Base, Bob was in manufacturing, purchasing, and security police. He also spent some time at the Warner Robins Police Department. After retiring from his civil service career, Bob then worked for Warner Robins Supply and also drove a bus for Happy Hour Service Center, a job he thoroughly enjoyed. A 4th degree in the Knights of Columbus, Bob had the honor of serving as a Grand Knight. An avid baseball fan, Bob coached his sons throughout their Little League careers and later was the president of the Warner Robins National League.
