Bob grew up in Tomahawk and was a 1964 graduate of Tomahawk High School. After graduation, he attended culinary school and worked at a local resort for several years.

He loved the outdoors hunting, fishing, birdwatching, and gardening, and enjoyed grilling and cooking, playing pool, darts, and horseshoes. His family meant the world to him and he spent countless hours playing cards, cribbage, and Skip Bo with them. He enjoyed watching the Brewers and Packers and loved shopping, especially on Black Friday. In his younger years, Bob was a dedicated member of the Knights of Columbus and the Nokomis Volunteer Fire Department where he was a fire inspector.
