Bob died in December, 2005. He served as an MP dog handler in Vietnam and the side effects of Agent Orange caused Bob many problems leading to diabetes and a non-cancerous brain tumor among others. He lived in Bonita Springs, Florida and is survived by his sister, Colleen Heaton Bailey, from the Class of '65 who provided the following:

Bob enjoyed sports as a boy and continued to play softball and practice martial arts in the years after his service in the army. He liked to play the lottery and sometimes was lucky and won a few dollars. His death was very sad for me. Our mother had died in May of the same year. We were together for the last time. I could tell he wasn't well, but didn't realize how sick he was. They told me that he collapsed outside of his apartment, the EMS people revived him, took him to a hospital, but he passed away two days later of organ failure. He was 55 years old. We all miss him, especially his sense of humor. He always had a witty comment that would make us laugh. Thank you for your interest.
