In the early 70's Bob elected to move to Phoenix, AZ. There he started a career in the food services industry and later married. Bob found his niche in that industry when he became a salesman and earned downtown Phoenix as his territory. He enjoyed his job and did well with it. Bob liked life in Phoenix and loved life with his wife Marcia and stepson Jeremy. He liked entertaining and became known for having large parties. He also enjoyed traveling and he and Marcia vacationed in France in 2005 and in Italy in 2006. In March of 2007 he was diagnosed with a rare cancer. He had Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma, Stage IV with metastasis to the lungs at time of diagnosis. Only after treatments and surgery, and while maintaining his positive outlook on life, did he succumb to the disease 4 months later and passed away on July 12, 2007. Rest In Peace Bob.
