After BOB’s brother PAUL also retired to Clearwater, the two siblings met weekly over brunch for many years at the Bellair Golf Club.
One day in January 2015, the 95 year old BOB slipped and hit his head, leaving him unable to speak. Moved to rehab in the Madonna Building at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, BOB passed away on the evening of Saturday, February 7.
