Bob bonded over countless construction projects with his eldest son, Paul, including many renovations of their beautiful Hackensack home of 42 years. Bob will be remembered for his smile and ability to make conversation with anyone he met.

   Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Esther; his siblings, Chuck and Muriel; and his youngest son, Bill.
